4. Line is a mark on a surface that describes a
shape or outline. It can create texture and can
be thick and thin. Types of line can include
actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal,
and contour.

5. A line is a mark made by a moving point and
having psychological impact according to its
direction, weight, and the variations in its
direction and weight.

6. It is an enormously useful and versatile graphic
device that is made to function in both visual
and verbal ways. It can act as a symbolic
language, or it can communicate emotion
through its character and direction.

7. The use of line in combination results in the
development of form and value, which are other
elements of design. Vertical lines communicate a
feeling of spirituality. Erect lines seem to extend
upwards, towards the sky. They often dominate
public architecture, from cathedrals to corporate
headquarters. Extended perpendicular lines suggest
an overpowering grandeur, beyond ordinary human
measure.

9. Vertical
lines communicate a feeling of spirituality. Erect lines seem to
extend upwards, towards the sky. They often dominate public
architecture, from cathedrals to corporate headquarters.
Extended perpendicular lines suggest an overpowering grandeur,
beyond ordinary human measure.
Horizontal
lines suggest a feeling of rest or repose. Objects parallel to the
earth are at rest in relation to gravity. Therefore compositions in
which horizontal lines dominate tend to be quiet and restful in
feeling.

11. Diagonal lines suggest a feeling of movement or direction. Since
objects in a diagonal position are unstable in relation to gravity,
they are either about to fall, or are already in motion.
Curved lines vary in meaning. Soft, shallow curves suggest
comfort, safety, and relaxation.
Zigzag lines or jagged lines are made by joining diagonal lines in
different directions. A jagged line expresses disorder.
