The dashed line in use 7 Aug 2007
Nearfield / Touch describes its love of the humble dashed line (with some beautiful imagery to boot):
"I've had trouble justifying my excitement about this intricate visual detail, so I thought it would be good to collect a bunch of examples from over fifty years of information design history, to show it as a powerful visual element in ubicomp situations.
"Even though the dashed line has emerged from a designer's shorthand and from the limitations of monotone printing techniques, it has a clear and simple visual magic, the ability to express something three- or four-dimensional in two dimensions."
