The beads of a string spread on the floor can be considered as points on the floor; the stars you see in the sky at night also appear like shining points in the sky. These stars of various sizes have round shape and can be considered as points of galaxy. Here the place of these points has more importance than the size of them. Similarly, the point is a diagram, which is just a dot made by a pen or a pencil on the paper. Now, if you want to draw the same point on the roadside hoarding, it has to be very big in size in comparison. Fig: Points To the one that is made on the paper, by the pen or pencil. This indicates that the point can be of any size - small or big. In fact, the point does not have any size. Hence the point can be defined as - a diagram, which has magnitude, but
no direction. The point is the very first and basic element of design without which design cannot be made. All other design elements are made up of points. The paths of various movements of the points produce various types of lines. Or in other words - the set of points arranged like a chain of beads is a line. Lines can be drawn in a number of types and can be used in making design. If the two ends of a line meet each other, they form a shape.
2. LINE A line is a fundamental mark or stroke used in drawing in which the length is longer than the width. Two connected points form a line and every line has a length, width, and direction if it is straight. This image contains contour lines (the outline of the birds) and decoration lines (hatching). Uses A line that defines or bounds an edge, but not always the outside edge, could represent a fold or color change. A line that defines the edge of space can also be created by a gap of negative space. Many uses include to separate columns, rows of type, or to show a change in document type. Lines are used in linear shapes and patterns to decorate many different substrates, and can be used to create shadows representing tonal value, called hatching.
have too much of this design element, your space can quickly become dull, lacking the visual appeal that comes with vertical and dynamic lines.
