I. Design:: Types of Design: Structural Design Decorative Design

Design can be defined as any arrangement of lines, forms, colors, and textures. There are two main types of design: structural design and decorative design. Structural design is the basic framework or outline of an object, while decorative design enriches and adds luxury to structural design through additional lines, colors, textures, or materials. Design plays an important role in communicating messages, differentiating between items, creating interest, and helping people understand concepts or ideas. It is a fundamental part of both interior spaces and clothing design.
