Points and Lines

Points and Lines

Point

Ball becomes the focal point to "finish" the structure.

Rim of the cup forms a point signifying entry or purpose.
Two points are linked together and signify purpose of that point.



Line 

Horizontal 
 
Also has structural lines supporting

Horizontal, vertical, and structural lines.

Horizontal lines creating vertical lines, drawing the eyes up

Vertical

Vertical lines draw the eye up while structural lines support the focal point.

Vertical lines create dimension outside the building.

Vertical lines mixed with horizontal and structural lines. 

Diagonal

These diagonal lines add support to the structure.

These diagonal lines add aesthetic appeal to an otherwise boring sidewalk. 
Organic 

Lines of the car create organic lines.

Shadows create organic lines that are ever changing.

Organic lines and point could be used to describe this structure.
Structural

The lines create a structure for the base.

This horizontal line creates structure as well as the vertical lines around the door.
Implied


Implied lines interest me because I feel there really is not a need for them, yet they are placed where they are for aesthetic appeal or decoration. These place mat lines break up the blocks of color, for no other reason than that.
