CI RCLE

The circle is a compact, introverted shape that has its

center point as its natural focus. It represents unity,
continuity, and economy of form.

A circular shape is normally stable and self-centering in

its environment. When associated with other lines and
shapes, however, a circle can appear to have motion.

Other curvilinear lines and shapes can be seen to be

fragments or combinations of circular shapes. Whether
regular or irregular, curvilinear shapes are capable of
expressing softness of form, fluidity of movement, or the
nature of biological growth.
