Accent lines

A collection of curved accent lines can be combined and either used on their own or integrated into larger compositions.

• Always terminate lines off canvas or fade them into the background.
• Space multiple lines evenly and arrange them in a balanced, intentional way.
• Keep all lines the same weight.
• Lines can be used to indicate connection between elements.
• Don’t end lines abruptly or crop them in a way that creates a hard edge.
• Don’t let lines bisect or overlap each other in a way that creates visual clutter.
• Don’t use lines in complex flow diagrams to indicate directionality — use simpler connectors instead. (See Illustration.)
