This follows on from the previous Journal showing how several lines, drawn each in relation to its neighbour, give the illusion of form, e.g. hills, valleys, growth or movement. Here I want to show how we can develop these ideas quite simply as inspiration for design.
I often refer to masks which enable us to find and isolate areas for design. At its simplest, a mask is a piece of plain, coloured paper with a hole cut out corresponding to the exact shape and size of the copper we want to use. This is easily done by carefully tracing around the chosen copper shape before cutting out the hole.
