Organic Shapes - Leaves, seashells, and flowers are organic shapes. We see them in nature and they have free flowing, informal and irregular characteristics.
Positive Shapes - In a drawing or painting, positive shapes are the solid forms (positive space) in a design such as a bowl of fruit. In a sculpture, positive shapes are solid areas of the sculpture that remain after removing portions of the sculpture.
Negative Shapes - In a drawing or painting, the space around the positive shape is negative space. Negative space can form a shape when it meets a positive shape. Negative space can include the sky or spaces between objects. In sculpture, the negative space is the portion that is removed from a sculpture.
iMac, iPhone and iPad were designed by Jonathan Ive. I think all of apple product have same kind of shape. I call that apple shape. It's square but we can feel roundness from the products. Because its edge aren round. iPod nano is complete square but touch panel is circle. It makes us to think apple products are stylish, cool and also easy to handle.
Contour Lines- Lines that describe the shape of an object and the interior detail.

color comes from light; if it were not for light, we would have no color. Light rays move in a straight path from a light source. Within this light, rays include all of the colors in the spectrum or rainbow. Shining a light into a prism will create a rainbow of colors because it separates the color of the spectrum.
When the light rays hit an object, our eyes respond to the rays that are reflected back and we see only the reflected color(s). For example, a red ball reflects all the red light rays. As Designers or Artists, we use pigments in the form of powder or liquid paints to create color.
Complementary colors - colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. When placed next to each other they look bright and when mixed together they neutralize each other.
Warm colors are on one section of the color wheel and give the feeling of warmth. For example, red, orange, and yellow are the colors of fire and look warm.
