Elements of Design- LINE
By Christie Coyle
-All but two of these photos were taken by me on or
around UNCG campus.

Here you can see the implied line created
by the buttons on the sweater and the bushes
below.





I think this is a great example because
the lines on the pavement are almost
exactly like the lines on the sweater.
There are two lines close together then
some separation.




Here is another example of vertical lines,
with the back of the chair below and
the lined on the sweater above.







Here is an example of vertical lines
in both the conveyor belt and the blue
shirt.




The Iran poster below has a similar
line scheme to the infamous 3 stripes of
Adidas.



The lines on this purse mimic the lines on a giraffes
coat.

It is clear to see the inspiration for this sweater
from the stripes of a zebra. A perfect example of
line in apparel and non apparel instances.

Below, you can see the lines on the
parking space are similar to the horizontal
lines on the blue sweater.






In this example, the sweater in the top
picture looks similar to the staircase in
the second picture.






In these images, you can see how the square
lines of the brick mimic the squares in the plaid
shirt.

Job Loss in America Hit a High Note

A recent article in the New York Times discusses the devastating amount number of jobs lost in the US since the start of the recession. In February alone, there were 615,000 jobs lost. This is the third month in a row that over 600,000 jobs have been lost. Economists say that although the Obama administration predicted a quick fix with the bailout plan, ease will not come until at least next year. As someone who recently lost a job due to the economic failure, I can relate with the stress and anxiety that most of the nation is feeling. I hope that within the next few months jobs begin to open up and the economy can make a slow turn around. If not, life after college will be more difficult than I expected.
