Use shapes to create patterns, textures, or symbols depending on the relationship you construct between them.
For logo designs, create dynamic visuals with layered patterns or use shapes as stand-alone visual elements.
For call-to-action buttons on your website, experiment with various shapes combined with different colors that stand out.
You can use scale, repetition, typography, line, randomness, etc. to create unique, effective and suitable layouts.
