Other ways the curved line was used in the 1960’s

Curved lines were used everywhere during the ‘swinging’ sixties. Polka dots were commonly used in garments and dresses during this era. Polka dots are a number of round dots repeated to form a regular pattern on fabric, in addition the dots are usually a contrasting colour to the background hue of the fabric it is on. Repeatedly, curved line was used during the Space-Age period. Paco Rabanne ued circular chainmail in his Space-Age designs, as well as round goggles and sunglasses being introduced by this style of fashion in the 1960s. Furthermore, curved line was all the rage in the art world as well. Artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Bridget Riley both used rounded lines in their Pop Art

COLOUR

AS A DESIGN ELEMENT

Colour is more than likely the first design element that catches your eye when you are choosing a garment from a store. Colour is what makes items stand out. Without it everything would look the same. we wouldn’t have such a widespread outlet to express our individualism. Colour is a major feature in virtually everything we use in our lives. Our clothes are coloured, our food is coloured, we even colour our fingernails. There are many different types of colour like Primary colours, which are red, yellow and blue. They are the bold colours that are the key ingredients of secondary colours which are orange, purple and green. Every colour is different and has a deep history and mood attached to it. For example, fluorescent colours convey excitement and pastel colours are calming and mellow. Blue is a very interesting colour because it is often associated with being calm. However, because of the ‘Blues’ genre of music, it is also associated with sadness and personal woes. People each have their own preference on colours and what looks good in a design. My favourite colour is pink. I like it
