Line: Line is the base element of design. We can’t do anything without a line. With the combination of lines, we can create a shape, outline, contour and mass. In mathematics, we usually heard that with the line movement, it would create a plane. Sometime It maybe a continuous marks on the surface or implied by the edges of shape or form or in a shadow. Here is typical example to help you figure out what is line: we usually use table to contain contents. Table is created by horizontal lines and vertical lines. Nukoda, S. (Producer). (n.d.).
