DESIGN PRINCIPLES USING STATIC FRAMES OF LINE & DOTS

Dot is the smallest element of graphic design. Depending on a distance points of various sizes can be perceived. Designing with dots or points can create a wide variety of visual effects. There are various associations that can be made with positioning a single dot in different areas of a page. Line is the arrangement of dots with a constant distance between them. “Every linear expression derives from a point set in motion”. Line is much more dynamic in character than a dot. The simplest form of a line is a straight line. The exercise was to represent the design principles using only upto 5 lines and dots in static frames.
