  12. SHAPE and FORM Form is the PHYSICAL SHAPE of objects. It outlines the edges of a three dimensional object and contains volume and mass. Form also has height, width, and depth.

  13. FORM Three guidelines for using form: • Form follows function • Related forms are more agreeable than unrelated forms. • A gradual change in form can smoothly direct the eyes. Shape Form
