So who knew there were so many different lines in the design. There are horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and Curvilinear, plus all those that who can't tell what exactly they are. Not only are there many different types, each type of line does something different.
Horizontal is used to make areas look smaller, wider and more intimate. This back porch has many horizontal lines, and has a welcoming, intimate, peaceful feeling about it. It is a place away from the world even if it maybe on top of a city.
Vertical lines are meant to make a space, whether a room or body, look longer and more open. The green and blue picture on the side of the room makes the space look longer and more open. Wearing vertical stripes makes a person look thinner and taller.
Diagonal so i love this book shelf!! it is so awesome. Diagonal lines are suppose to flatter things and throw some interest and drama into a room. Diagonal lines put a little wow into a room, doing something a slanted and crazy makes the room interesting. I think this is true about life too. When you get out of your comfort zone and do something a little crazy you add flair into your life, making you a little more interesting. Getting out of my comfort zone is actually one of my 2012 goals, so we will see if i seem more interesting at the end of the year.
Curvilinear Now doesn't this look like a Cinderella Staircase. I can just imagine her coming down in her beautiful gown down this staircase. My little sister just got asked to prom and i kind of wish we had a Cinderella staircase for her to come down, in her beautiful dress. Well Curved design is used to create more famine drama and aspects, as well to catch attention.
Design is really so complex but interesting at the same time. I have many lines in my life and in many ways influence and inspire me, both in good and bad ways. .
