Implied Line

This shoe, an everyday object, has a great example of implied line, yet without an artistic eye, it goes overlooked.The implied line is underneath the leather between the two metal rings. Because we cannot see it, but it is suggestive that the lace continues underneath the leather, it is therefor an "implied" line. On top of the shoe where it is laced up, the implied line adds to the function. The part of the lace that isn't necessarily seen, adds reinforcement on the underside and is used as a connection to the other side of the shoe to be able to tie it.

Same goes for the curtain rod. Because the rod goes into the curtain, it encloses segments of the rod, leaving implied line that we cannot necessarily see. It does not only add to the asthetics but adds and mainly is for function of supporting and haning the curtain.
