elements of design- shape

The element of shape is very important in design because it revolves around the way an object looks in reality.  A shape is something with a width and length and is tow-dimentional.  There are two types of shapes.  Geometric shapes which are derived from the constructed environment, squares, triangles and circles are all examples of geometric shpes.  There are also organic shapes which are derived from nature.  These shapes are useually composed with rounded edges.  An example of an organic shape is a circle because it is a round object but also this counts for three-dimentional objects as well in my opinion because most 3-D objects have smooth rounded edges.
