Shape is a visually perceived area created either by an enclosing line or by color or value changes defining the outer edge. Shape and form are terms that are generally synonymous, although, shape is more precise in description, while form has a broader meaning in art and design (Lauer & Pentak, 2012, p. 152). A designer can effectively apply shape to digital illustrations in various ways. Shape can be used as the focal point or defining form in the message for a design or illustration. In this example, the designer used shape and color in conjunction with negative and positive space to effectively produce a unified logo design. The ink droplet shapes help define the octopus form in the negative space. These element in turn complement one another in both the company objective (printing) and actual octopus behavior (producing ink), as well as the difference in colors create emphasis and interest, thus producing a cohesive, …show more content…
In this example, the designer applies a textured background along with rectangle shapes in a “blocking” technique to ensure the necessary information is easier for the viewer to read. Incorporating texture into the background of this design adds depth and interest to the composition. Although I do not like this flier in particular, and do not feel it is a good design, the method of using shapes to break up the background texture is effective in conveying the needed information.
These two methods of applying shape to a design or illustration are regularly used by national and/or global companies down to small or local businesses and can be found in advertisements, web pages and sites, packaging, fliers and logos. A lot of times these techniques often go unnoticed (until you look for them), consequently demonstrating their effectiveness.

Sculpturing is all about expression, as the image form has depth as well as width and height; three-dimensional display. Deborah's innovative and intellectual ideas are seen in the horse with its pose and energy; alert and ready to react to whatever comes its way. The form is organized to create the image; each branch represents a part of the horse's physique.

In the play Meno, written by Plato, there is a point in which Meno asks that Socrates give a definition of shape. In the end of it, Socrates is forced to give two separate definitions, for Meno considers the first to be foolish. As the two definitions are read and compared, one is forced to wonder which, if either of the two, is true, and if neither of them are true, which one has the most logic. When comparing the first definition of shape: "that which alone of existing things always follows color," to the second definition: "the limit of a solid", it can be seen that the difference in meaning between the two is great. Not only in the sense that the first is stated simply and can be defended easily, while the later is more difficult to comprehend and back up; but also in the sense that the second would have to involve the defiance of mathematical theories and/or proofs in order to stand true, while the first does not. It should also be noted that in the first definition, the word "a" is never mentioned. Socrates is not making a statement about "a shape" or "a color", but about shape and color themselves. In the definition given to please Meno, Socrates' words are "a shape" and "a solid". It can be taken from earlier discussions in the play that the second definition is simply a definition of a shape, rather than a definition of shape in and of itself.
“Most of my inspiration comes from colour, art, flowers, landscapes and detail from vintage clothes or antique bric-a-brac… I sketch collections with fabrics in mind and develop inspiration boards alongside my draping and this had been a large part of evolving shapes.”
Rand`s Next logo is a 3-D cube that is place on an angle. The cube is black with white outlines. The typeface is 4 colors: red, yellow, green, pink. A simple design and it draws your attention right away. I designed mine as well with the black cube and white outlines, but with the colors: blue, burgundy, purple, and teal. The type inside the cube is (FATS) which I based off my information. From a distance, my design also draws your attention, in which Rand`s approach work again with the contrast. The black with the light colors helps draw you in. I also used the same typeface throughout the brochure to keep it balanced. I used a lot of shapes with contrasting colors to keep the flow moving. Simple approaches are true to

In this exquisite artwork named, “The Turning Road”, by Andre Derain, there are many elements of art shows many different type of lines, shape, texture, space, light, and color. This artwork has an automatic drawing that looks random and adventurous. I can see that the two-dimensional of the tree trunk and branches which have the outline of a cylinder and rectangle. There are vertical, horizontal, diagonal lines used to emphasize in this drawing like, the curvy tree trunk and the diagonal branches that stick out of the tree. Also the thin short lines are displayed behind the big thick tree trunk to avoid attention and let us in-version that there are many more enormous tree nearby. The lines were used in the picture to create a tonal variation and simulate texture. “The curving road, the tree trunks and branches, and the choreographed forms of villager all sway to an integrated rhythm”, that focus our attention of how the artist utilized lines to create a freeform way which add excitement to the design. He also applied different colors to shimmer in flat shapes in order to make the landscape come more alive and the expressive feeling of the villagers. The shapes of the house and road have a smooth and rounded angle that appears to be distorted. I don’t see any three-dimensional form that was use in this painting, however, the artist tend to portray a different angles that allow the viewer to see certain things like the trees and curved road to stand out and grab the viewer attention. The shapes used in the painting seem to be organic, because of the naturally outdoor environment and authentic of colors. In the representation of peoples, shape lend character to a figure by giving it more of a human-like structure, the human form d...
After completion of this step the architects use the surveying drawing to develop a working drawing for the building. In these drawing you will see triangles, rectangles, squares, arches and other geometry shapes and forms to create their design. The architects through our history have used these shapes to create famous structures all over the world. If you go back to Roman historical sites you will see such examples like the great Coliseum. A great example can be seen is the famous Egyptian pyramid. Some other famous structures are the Eiffel Tower which is in Italy, and Chrysler building in New York. If you look around your neighborhood houses, you will see these shapes.
3. Combine the two outlines (overlay them) to make a third, new shape like an abstract. IT should not save the design of either original object.
“Do not judge the book by its cover”. This is a very famous quote. But is really personal appearance not essential? (Elmer, n.d.).
Plato: When we discuss Forms we are not talking about something that is truly real but something that we would see or grasp intellectually. The idea of it is that what you are looking at may not be the true form of which you are looking at it. When you draw a circ...
Shapes are two- dimensional surfaces such as circles or squares, and forms are three-dimensional shapes like spheres or cubes. A concave form has a pushed-in surface like the inside of a bowl and a convex form has a raised surface like the outside of a bowl. When you are looking at shapes and forms, the shape that you see first is called a figure or positive shape and the area around it is called the ground or the negative shape. The natural curves in different objects, such as trees or clouds are called organic shapes. Geometric shapes and forms are precise and regular such as cubes, pyramids, and circles. A free-form is an irregular invented shape or form that has qualities of a geometric form or an organic form.

Society has increasingly placed a high value on image, which has had a profound effect on people, from how to dress, talk, behave, things they idolize, or deem important. Image is a physical likeness, representation, or appearance of a person, or thing, photographed, painted, or otherwise made visible. Image is one of the oldest form of nonverbal communication used to appeal to others; people often judge your integrity, accountability, or professionalism based on appearance. Having the right image can go a long way, by providing opportunities, highlight qualities, and even present life changing experiences. Image is how someone, a group, or corporation, present themselves to the world, it tells a little about who they are. Therefore, image gives an insight to spectators, who form opinions solely on appearances, which is very important as first impressions last.
