Form adds visual dimension and can be stimulating and engaging to the eye because it adds realism and depth that draws you in. It adds a 3D quality that can trigger sensations of touch, rough, smooth, hard soft, hot or cold, round or pointy. Because of this visual dynamic form can be used to create a distinct look and feel to a piece of graphic design work. In design there are two types of form.
