What is meant by geometric shapes and how they are used to convey specific information in a design composition? |
|
Answer» Geometric shapes give a sense of order and cleanliness to a composition. This is why designers often use geometric shapes when organizing text into distinct areas or even into blocks for paragraphs, making these shapes important in the design element of typography. However, each shape can express a different message. Geometric shapes are basic squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, and the like. These typically include sharp corners but may have rounded elements. Most geometric shapes on web pages are created through layout and CSS. Architects use geometry to study and divide space as well as draft detailed building plans. Builders and engineers rely on geometric principles to create structures safely. Designers apply geometry (along with color and scale) to make the aesthetically pleasing spaces inside. Applying geometry in design is unavoidable. |
