Working together, dots create an endless variety of arrangements and increasing complexity—a
single vertical or horizontal row, rotated rows, an isolated dot in contrast to a group, progressions
in interval, ordered rows in a grid structure, angles and geometric patterns, curves, and so on.
NOT ALL DOTS ARE CIRCULAR!
Barring a few elements that are clearly lines, many of the dots
on the gatefold pages of this brochure are something other than circular. However, they are still
treated as dots for the purpose of composition, judging size change, proximity, tension, and neg-
ative spaces between as though they were flat, black, abstract dots. Note how the type's linear
quality contrasts with the dots on the pages.

The negative dot is created in reverse from the convergence of other forms. Clustering dots of dif-
ferent sizes creates a more varied contour, but overall the cluster retains its identity as a dot.
