Element of Design - Point
The point is the first and simplest element of media design. A point is used to represent a zero dimensional image or 0-d. This is because it is just a location, and has no dimensions. As you’ll see… we do “cheat” and give it a bit of size so we can see it.
The point serves as the focus of a visual, highlighting or drawing attention to important information.

There are many websites with additional information and images that can help you further understand the use of points in visual compositions, whether it be in traditional art, photography or even video. Depending on your interest, you can enter the search term “elements of design point” in your web browser.
A series of points can attract attention, especially as they move closer together.
Several points in combination may represent a more complicated object or idea. For example, constellations can be thought of as points in the sky representing the figure we "see."
