Elements of designs By Lemeki

Lines is straight,curvy,heavy ,light soft, hard or even a mix of all of them. The strange things about lines is that they can pop up in your designs when you didn’t expect it to. Lines can give shape a character by being on the edge or surface.

When I say “shapes” I bet the first thing that pops in to your head is probably a circle , square, triangle and ect.But shapes is more than that, shape is something sharp, clear or hazy it can be bordered by a line and can be defined by colour ,texture and tone.
