| Appearance of Lines |
A line is a mark connecting two points. How we get from point A to point B gives the line its distinctive character and appearance. Lines can be long or short, straight or curved. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Lines can be solid, dashed, thick, thin, or of variable width. The endings of lines can be ragged, blunt, or curved.
Hands-On Exercise
Look at ads, magazines, brochures, logos, and other printed projects and try to find as many different types of lines as possible including straight, curved, and freeform lines. Look for blunt and curved line endings, solid and dashed lines and lines with variable widths.
