Diagonal line

Diagonal lines imply movement and direction. These lines are neither vertical nor horizontal. They suggest a feeling of movement or an activity. Unlike diagonal lines, horizontal lines suggest calm and stability and vertical lines suggest authority and strength. In terms of orientation, diagonal elements carry the most weight.
