This idea has been around for a very long time, and ive studied it repeatedly throughout the years. I think the point is very valid that through combinations of diferent lines, color and shapes, an artist can portray some kind of emotion. Not only that, but its a very very important design element in that it helps being that emotional connection between the viewer and the artwork which ultimately leads to the success of the design in getting whatever message it has across to the public.
If your product/design for a video cover can make the viewer feel happy then chances are they will buy the video. If your poster design on abuse against women can envoke a sad/angry and shocked emotion in the person passing by, then the message of that medium is likely to stay in the mind of that person.
Its these ideas of the relationship between visuals, emotion and application to design work that further increase our chance as designers in making our projects really stand out.
Above is a poster for a design exhibition that i organized last year. Behind the text is an array of shapes, lines and colors that are supposed to represent the chaos that goes into design and art.
The combination off all these shapes, colours, lines etc work well in envoking a sense of confusion, chaos and imagination within the viewer.
