Elements of Design: Line

ATARI LOGO



It is very apparent that the lines in the shirt mimic those in the Atari logo.

BLINDS




At first glance, it is easy to see how the lines in the sunglasses look just like a blind.

RIPPLE





In examining the shirt, it is easy to see how the lines are very similar to a ripple in water.

CORNICE BOARD




The line created across the shoulders of the dress mimics a cornice board.

SKY WRITER




When first looking at the shirt, the lines created by the word "love" immediately made me think of a sky writer.

PRETZEL




At first glance, the heart on the shirt appears to have a peace sign inside. However, when taking another look, it looks just like a soft pretzel.

STOPLIGHT




The line of a stoplight came to mind in noticing the three vertical circles near the neckline of the dress.

WINDOW





Windows have always been a popular source for line inspiration. The design on this t-shirt is no exception to the rule.
