dearest designers, these still need polish. they are not written consistently. some seem to have multiple attempts. one asks a question as part of the definition. is that normal? do you want examples or not?
element – a part or aspect of something abstract, especially one that is essential or characteristic. [the tools]
line – An element with length, width, and directionality. It can be used to outline or make shapes. Line can be implied and is not constrained to a single weight.
shape – geometric, organic, or abstract form. Soft curvy shapes Can appear warm and welcoming. Sharp edgy shapes can appear cold and threatening.
2D,Outline/silhouette, bordered by lines, simpler than forms
A two dimensional outline or silhouette. Shapes can be geometric, abstract , or organic in construction.
texture – We associate textures with the way that things look or feel. Also texture can help describe objects as they appear. Texture can be visual or implied.
color – The absence or addition of light. How we perceive light coming from the visual spectrum?
form – 3/4d the visible shape or configuration of something. structures, space, Forms are described by virtue of the area of space bordered by the lines.
space – [pos/neg] dominance/emphasis “an area to be filled” “the area around, within, or between applied elements”
and finally, are these “considerations” or elements of design [see “element definition above]? decide as a class and move on.
