The meaning of shapes – Developing a visual grammar

We all use shapes in many different ways

• Organize information through connection and separation
• Symbolize different ideas
• Create movement, texture, and depth
• Convey mood and emotion
• Emphasize and create entry points and areas of interest
• Lead the eye from one design element to the next

Different shapes convoy different moods and meanings. In order to use shapes correctly in design, it’s important to first know the grammar of shapes. This great posts gives you everything you need to know about shapes and their use.

In a more personal level…

Hello!

This blog was actually created as a part of a big assignment in a course called Knowledge Management. The purpose of this assignment is to practice social networks and the use of  it as a tool for knowledge management, distribution and capture.

So far the only social network I was really involved in was Twitter (I love it!) , However  this experience with opening a blog at wordress showed me I have a lot more to learn and experience.

We chose a subject that we’re really passionate about  – web design, We really hope that by doing this assignment we will be able to get more knowledge, skills, and expand our social network around this subject and in general.

So please feel free to join us and help us learn all there is about web design and of course about blogging:)

Yours, Sivan.
