Lines| Rj Santos

Lines are everywhere. Things are made up of lines. They are used by people to represent something. I have learned last week that lines really has a big impact on a design. It can make a design seem girly or playful. In garments, lines are used in many ways. One way of using lines is by using it to create an optical illusion, it make something big look thin, or something old look young. Lines are one of the most basic yet fundamental elements in a design. A design starts with lines. Lines are the ones responsible for making something look that way. It can somehow manipulate things. When lines are arranged properly, it can somehow 'alter' something.

I believe that for someone to achieve something using lines, he should know the so-called psychology of lines. Lines are not just lines. They convey a meaning. For example, a slanted line can represent something active. No wonder why most sporty brands such as Nike and Adidas have logos that are slanted ( I got this from the lecture! Yay!). So, this just proves the fact that you cannot just guess or imply your own 'beliefs', you should study lines and how they affect people.

Lines make up everything in a garment. It is the most essential element, cause without it, there would be no garment.
