G&T

Mixed feelings towards diagonals. Very rarely do they work, more often than not they come across forced and leave the image without negative space and poor balance. I don't think there's a formula but generally speaking, rounded curves seem to help a diagonal stand on its own.







Then again, perhaps our eyes adjust in ways that we don't quite think about. Like leaning into a turn at the video arcade, it doesn't change the image nor does it inherently change the perception, but it does change the experience for better or worse.
