The main elements of art and design is line, shape, form, texture, balance and the rule of thirds.
These elements are important to learn and master as a Graphic Designer.
I made abstract depictions of the following terms:
- Joy
- Sorrow
- Anxiety
- Mystery
- Destruction
- Reason
By only using elements of line, shape, form, texture and balance.
It’s a rough sketching, only pencil and paper. I tried to make «joy» a form (3D) and I mixed both line and shape in several of the illustrations. I tried to make balance in the «destruction» illustration, ironically enough. In «mystery» I made texture as a brick wall.
«Sorrow» might be the one people do not get, because it’s a bit hidden. The lights are out in one of the windows and the «world» around is melting away.
This was fun, I might try out more – to see what I can come up with!
