Graphic design has even a role in the Steemit community. Photos and logo and banners people use on Steemit all reflect what they are about. Each element of design may have unintended meanings. That's why it's important to know a little about design.

The elements of design are: line, shape, space, color, texture and type.

Shapes

Shapes such as circles, rectangles, triangles, all have different connotations. Each has senses, feelings, and meanings that are implied.

Circles

Circles can mean wholeness, completion, all encompassing, global, and well rounded. Circles are infinite as well. They never end, around and around they go. This means circles are reliable.

Squares / Rectangles

You find the most comfort in rectangles because they are the most common shapes. TV's, cereal boxes, buildings, books, etc. are rectangles. Rectangles can be honest, but also boring.

Triangles

Triangles can provide movement and direction with the points. Triangles have many different ways of being, so they could mean growth, balance, even conflict.

Purposes

The two main purposes of shapes are attracting and maintaining interest, and leading the eye.

Favorites

Today I want to talk about my favorite shape. Mine is a circle.

Reasoning

Circle	Square
Infinite	Stops and turns
Roll-able	Stops when rolled
Looks cool	Looks boring
One ratio	Many ratios

This does not include any other shapes.
