Elements of Design
This comprehensive overview delves into the fundamental elements of design, focusing on lines, texture, shape, and space. Discover how vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved, zigzag, and radial lines contribute to visual interest. Understand texture as it relates to the feel of objects, such as smoothness or roughness. Explore various shapes from basic forms like rectangles and triangles to irregular shapes that challenge convention. Finally, we examine how space can be effectively utilized in design, whether large or small, empty or filled.
