Texture is an element that plays an important role in design and is defined by two aspects----
  1. Visual

Texture may be hard to soft or smooth to rough. Textures that are smoothing, pleasant draw us to them, other abrasive, unpleasant and repelling. This is a very important for a Designer to use the right material for the product.
