Design Jargon of the Day: Keyline
Also known as a stroke (such as in Adobe CS), a keyline is a border that sits directly around the outer edges of a graphic element. Keylines are often used to make a word or shape ‘pop out’ from a background, particularly when the graphic element itself is similar in colour to the background on which it sits.
