PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF

LINES
Different lines invoke different feelings depending on your
mental background. Though they differ in the minds of
others, horizontal lines usually leave a sense of
tranquility/CALM, imagine a sunset cast upon the ocean.
Vertical lines give a feeling of stability, for example,
pillars that hold a building, or a tall man, one would
consider him more "stable" or confident if he was vertical
and upright rather than slouching. While curved, and zig
zag lines offer a more lively sensation.
