Summary:

Point, Line & Plane:

These are the most basic and fundamentals elements of design. They can be thought of in two basic ways:

1. Conceptually- for example, Geometry
2. Graphically- for example, Visual Arts

<aside> 💡 Line- is an endless amount of points, it is a connection between two points or it can be part of a moving point.

1. Point:

• It can be compared to an atom.
• It is the smallest piece on a vector.
• The most important point of a visual is the focal point. This helps to grab the viewer’s attention.
• In typography, a full stop is also a point.
• In printing, an image of colour is formed by overlapping colour dots similar to points.
• An image on a display screen is made by pixels of colour.

Atom, full stop and overlapping colour dots.

2. Line:

• It exists in different weights or thicknesses.
• It can be continuous, broken, straight or curved.
• A line can be perceivable or invisible. The components of an image are aligned on an invisible line. The grid system is a collection of invisible lines.
