Elements of Visual Language: LINE

A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. 

 

• It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. 

• Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. 

• They lead your eye around the composition and can communicate information through their character and direction. 

• Pay attention to the implied line in-between shapes.
