However, it does make sense that in the past this techniques were more used by designers since most of design was made by hand. I've found that starting with pen and paper is still a good thing to do though. It helps out a lot, rather than just starting in inkscape right away. Thanks! | |

It's, of course, purely faux, as it is all done via computers, but some people like to bring in the analog past as part of the aesthetic style. | |

It makes sense if you use the geometric figures to guide your lines or to even make them, but if you just add the circles after you are done, it makes little sense to me. I guess people like to show off that way. I liked the idea of using the circles as an aid, rather than just some sugar on top of the design. My guess was that they sketched something and then they perfected the curves using circles. | |
