## Lines
- CSI: decompose lines into C-curves, S-curves, and I-straights.
- We tend to make details too large. #caveat
- Light weight:
- Thick for important, near, dark lines
- Thin for trivial, far, light lines
## Shapes
- Emotional impact:
- Circle: soft
- Square: strong
- Triangle: aggressive like a dagger
