Maybe people will use diagonal lines not set at 45 degrees. Maybe they’ll use 30 degrees or something crazy like that.

Diagonal lines are a good way of breaking up a layout, or image without cluttering it. I just cringe at those that use strong diagonal lines against directly behind text. There’s certainly an art to it, knowing where and how to use it.

One example is CollyLogic. http://www.collylogic.com/index.php

The lines behind the text look pretty good, though I find them quite annyoing when reading a longer article.

Thanks for the example, Markus. The lines do get a bit annoying when reading an entire page.

Just realised that that’s an Agenzia Employee’s journal. They’re in my town. Well not my town. The good old town of Nottingham.

I like diagonal lines. They are a subtle way of adding texture to what would otherwise be a boring flat surface. But I agree, they shouldn’t be used beneath text.

i think that diagonal lines through the web are great as they add more interest to the page with just old plain lines you get bored with what you are reading lots of happy surfing from yet another lana stewart
