TEXTURES

3 Examples of Texture:

This texture is from an old canvas. It is rough and cracked. It would create an active mood and an unorganized rugid type feeling.

This texture is raster based. It is used to fool the eye into perceiving a satin type material. It possesses a rich depth and seems to appear smooth and flowing.

This is an example of an embossed texture. It has been pressed down and colored in to add a depth effect. It is very organized and catches the eye.

SHAPES

These shapes are geometric: triangle, square, circle and rectangle.

These shapes are abstract.  They are exaggerated and some are distorted illustrations which draw the audiences attention.

These are photographic shapes. They are cut out but non-the-less are photographics of people, places, things.

LINES

These are curved lines. Instead of being calm and flowing; they are blurry and active.

These are gathered lines. They are seperated in chunks by three white lines and allow for a very organized feeling. The colors are repetitive as well. The lines vary in size.

These are curved lines. They are very light yellows, greens and blues. They are fluid and flowing and provide a very calm feeling. These lines also vary in size.
