Texture

Color Theory: Understanding the principles behind how colors interact with each other to create texture and depth.

Light and Shadow: Understanding how light interacts with surfaces to create texture and shadow.

Pattern: Understanding how repeating patterns can add texture and depth to a design.

Scale and Proportion: Understanding how the size and scale of design elements can affect the perception of texture.

Materiality: Understanding how the choice of materials can affect the texture of a design.

Contrast: Understanding how contrasting elements can create texture and depth within a design.

Space: Understanding how the use of negative space can affect the perception of texture.

Composition: Understanding how the arrangement of design elements can affect the perception of texture.

Surface Texture: Understanding how the physical texture of surfaces can affect the perception of texture in a design.

Nature: Understanding how natural patterns and textures can inspire and inform design choices.

Visual Texture: Texture that can be seen but not felt, created by repeating visual elements such as shapes, colors, lines, or patterns.

Tactile Texture: Texture that can be felt through touch, created by the variation in surface qualities such as roughness, smoothness, or softness.

Rough Texture: Texture that has a rough and uneven surface, created by the use of materials such as burlap, sandpaper, or rough stone.

Smooth Texture: Texture that has a smooth and even surface, created by materials such as glass, metal, or polished stone.

Patterned Texture: Texture that is created through the repetition of a specific pattern or design, such as stripes, checks, or polka dots.

Organic Texture: Texture that is inspired by natural forms and shapes, such as leaves, flowers, or the bark of a tree.

Geometric Texture: Texture that is created using geometric shapes such as squares, circles, or triangles.

Irregular Texture: Texture that is created through the use of irregular shapes or patterns, such as a mosaic or patchwork.

Transparent Texture: Texture that is created through the use of transparent or translucent materials, such as glass or plastic.

Opaque Texture: Texture that is created through the use of materials that are not transparent, such as wood, metal, or stone.
