Title: Taking a walk for a line

Exercise: Go out and about looking for examples of horizontal and vertical lines, if you can avoid repeating the way the lines appear.  In each image try and ensure it is the line rather than the content that the viewer will first notice. The aim is to help you think about different design elements and to find different ways horizontal and vertical lines appear to the eye and the camera.

Approach: This was certainly an exercise that encourages you to look hard at your surroundings and to perhaps think differently about what you see. Most of my examples were taken around the campus of the University of York as I was there for a number days for a conference.
