Exercise 1.2 – Point – research<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“The point is the most fundamental design element. It has to be small within the<\/em>
\nframe and its position is generally more important than its form (see the example of<\/em>
\nthe white polystyrene cup underneath the chair opposite).”<\/em><\/p>\n

So the first thing I want to understand is the meaning of the word ‘Point<\/span>‘ in the statement above.<\/p>\n

As you review your photographs, observe the way your eye \u2018scans\u2019 the surface of the
\nimage. Note how:
\n\u2022 a point attracts attention out of proportion to its size
\n\u2022 the eye looks for connections between two points
\n\u2022 placing a point close to the edge seems to animate both the point and the frame.<\/p>\n

Point<\/strong>\u00a0A point marks a position in space. In pure geometric terms, a point is a pair of x, y coordinates. It has no mass at all. Graphically, however, a point takes form as a dot, a visible mark. A point can be an insignificant fleck of matter or a concentrated locus of power. It can penetrate like a bullet, pierce like a nail, or pucker like a kiss. A mass of points becomes texture, shape, or plane. Tiny points of varying size create shades of\u00a0\u00a0gray.<\/p>\n
