Question

What is the difference between visual and tactile texture in graphic design?

Answer 1

Actile textures have relief, 3-D characteristics that you can feel.Patterns painted on the the wall or ceiling may not be 3-D, but as far as the eye is concerned, they are just as real as tactile textures. A sponge-painted wall is an example of a texture that greatly alters the atmosphere of a room without adding physical definition.
