We can easily distinguish and classify types of design is in term of the sense e.g as visual, auditory or audiovisual. Attention must be given to the frames of reference, to whether the development is mostly in two or three dimensions of space or in time. VISUAL 1- 1- Visual, static, surface design This type of design can be represented on a flat, curving or polyhedral surface. Its components are: line, color and texture. According to this components there are distinguished some types of design such as arabesque, which involves intricate linear development with or without representational meaning. In this category there is a subdivision: a) a) Strip design b) b) Bounded-area design c) c) Allover design a) Strip design This design is long and narrow such as ribbons, borders or architect...

Which leads to conclusion that art is an attempt to create pleasing forms.On the other hand beauty is relative, so art isn't supposed to be beautiful it's supposed to make you feel something. Architecture While talking about forms we leap to architecture. Thoma...
