ASPECTS OF TEXTURE
STRUCTURAL TEXTURE VISUAL TEXTURE
Is the result of the elements
of a substance and the
method of its construction.
Fibers + Yarns + Weaving = Fabrics
Pulp and Pressure = Paper
Sand + Soda + Lime + Heat = Glass
Wood Veneers and Glue = Plywood

adding additional elements,
produces different textures.
The visual and mental
response to the structural
texture, or the impression.
By varying the type of
textures, the designer can
produce different concepts,
and emotional responses.

TO REMEMBER ABOUT TEXTURE
When planning textures or patterns for the
stage, take into consideration the distance of
audience to stage. More delicate and detailed
textures tend to disappear over long distances.
The effects of visual mixing may eliminate
textures, but enhance color and 3-D effects.
