Red & White Stripe Shoe by Rita Lermon. This panel uses the one of the most basic principles of design: the line.  The line - a path traced by a moving point - is represented in this design as wavy instead of straight as not as to dominate but appear softer.  The pattern formed by the horizontal lines in the picture plane are also apparent on the shoe itself.  The picture uses primary red to allow the shoe a striking contrast and become the focal point against the an interchanging secondary orange and black. The pattern created by secondary orange is offset with dominant black and lighter hues of yellow are used to define the inside of the shoes and the sole.
