The Carbonica webpage on sixrevisions.com successfully uses line, shape, pattern, light, and shadow. The site is composed of many layers, all with different texture patterns which resemble parchment or thin woven material. The layers’ patterns are not all perfectly smooth or even, but have slight variations. All of the layers are relatively evenly placed in relation to one another. Most of the shapes of the layers are nearly perfect rectangles. This spacing, placement, and shapes of each layer provides the viewer with nice, neat parallel lines. These parallel lines give the page a sense of clear cut crispness even though one or two of the edges of the parchment layers is folded over or slightly torn and the patterns do not fully resemble crispness. Therefore, the line, shape, and textured pattern used in this page give it a desirable balance through subtle contrast.

Light and shadow are also successfully utilized in this website. The page is lit brightly, but some shadows are still visible. The slight shadows underneath the paper and fabric-like layers provide a sense of depth in a vague but interesting way. This gives a 3D effect to the page without overkill. The shadow does not distract the viewer from the importance of the text and major message of the page. And, the light only emphasizes the significant portions of the site.

All of these elements work simultaneously to create a wonderful webpage. The shapes that the designer chose create parallel lines, successfully relaying crispness. This is contrasted by an earthy fabric textured pattern. These two elements work as cogs in the success of the overall piece. The light and shadow also contribute. The brightness of the page relays a certain mood to the viewer, and the subtle shadows provide depth to the webpage. Overall, this website successfully utilizes all of these elements.
