Now that you're familiar with the concept of line, it's time to talk about shapes. The shape, by definition is a portion of space delimited by a perimeter. shapes are used to lead the eye or organize information. Furthermore, if we use shapes in combination with other design elements, we are able to be powerful universal messages. There are three basic types of shapes, geometric, natural, and abstract. Let's start talking about geometric shapes.

Geometric shapes are often structures and symmetrical figures, such as triangles, squares, circles, or hexagon or octagons as many guns as you wish. Each shape has a precise psychological meaning. Let's watch the square figure here. This square expresses a sense of honesty and stability. Well also uniformity and rigidity. Almost all the tests that are presented to us are organized in squares and rectangles.

Here's a circle. It is another peaceful shape. It expresses protection and infinity. It's more dynamic than the square, since it also represents a circular movement, such as a spinning planet or a rolling boat. Use a circle to define and highlight familiar elements in your design. Last but not least, here comes the triangle.

It expresses action dynamism. A triangle can convey either a sense of strength or conflict. It also expresses movement, forcing the eye to move in the direction it's pointing. Use the triangle to suggest a sense of conflict or a progression. Now that you have the basic knowledge about our geometric friends, let's talk about nature and abstract. shapes.

Nature of shapes are often complex and they resemble real world elements. A good example can be the outline of a tree Lee. Also, any club is considered a natural shape. Often designers use nature shapes to improve and enrich the view of geometric shapes. abstract shapes are often a stylization of real world elements. They are truly fascinating because most of the time they convey a new universal idea that can easily be read.

Do you remember the lady that was so at the beginning of this video? It's a perfect example. The message she conveyed is strong, universal and can you see it? She is made out of really simple shapes. Take your time and go around your city. Try to pay attention to the shapes around you.

Think of what you usually do when you are in a new place. You feel you know where to go? What is guiding you? signs words, St Marks, I can bet there is a bunch of lines and shapes that prevent you from getting lost. When you come back, turn on the computer again and click play on the next video. I want to talk with you about the mess.

Another really important topic.
