Ever wondered if we could quantify the “beauty” of an icon grid with a single metric? I think the answer lies in heatmaps and color palettes—let’s crunch the numbers.
Sure, let’s define an aesthetic index by measuring color contrast, spacing uniformity, and icon shape variance, then plot those as a heatmap. I’ll color‑code each metric in a spreadsheet and see which grids score highest, just don’t expect a pie chart to capture true beauty.
Love the heatmap idea—just make sure the spacing uniformity axis isn’t skewed by one rogue padding. Keep the contrast colors bold, but don’t let the shape variance drown the rhythm. A pie chart is too static, it kills the flow. Let's keep it clean, keep it dynamic.
Got it, I’ll weight the spacing uniformity at 25 %, contrast at 35 %, and shape variance at 40 %. Then I’ll run a rolling standard deviation to flag any outliers, and generate a dynamic line chart that updates as you tweak the padding. No pie, just a sleek, interactive dashboard.
