types of graphic lines that we use.
These are commonly used throughout our primary
design layouts. Single or multiple lines can be applied
vertically and horizontally.
Angled lines
These lines are slightly more expressive then our
straight lines. They bring dynamism to the layout
without taking too much attention away from the
Our Graphic Line Types
Curved lines
Curved lines veer into more expressive territory. It is
a good alternative option to angled lines, but should
be used in moderation. We keep the radius of the
curved line as circular as possible in order to ensure
balance and geometry.
Expressive lines
Expressive line graphics can be used in combination
with messaging to create playful and engaging
signature moments. We use these sparingly
so they have greater impact.

Please note: Whilst we have determined guiding
principles for all Misk Art photography – when selecting
photography from libraries, specifically for theme based
communications, first determine an appropriate thematic
image. This will form the foundation for further image
sourcing. Additional images should be sourced by
searching ( under)١ the photographers name and ( by)٢

is achieved as demonstrated opposite.

Misk Art Institute Style Guide
In situations where MAI has produced
catalogue content for museums or gallery
exhibitions, then the same co-branding rules
should apply. Regarding placement
of the logo, no logo assets should be placed
on the front of the catalogue. Instead the
MAI symbol should be placed at the top
of the spine. On the back cover, the logo
assets should be placed as shown here in
the bottom corners. Be sure to consider the
placement/crop of the visual used to ensure
that the logo assets are clearly legible.
