We all learned our basic shapes back in grade school. You know the ones: squares, rectangles, circles, triangles and the like.

But you probably haven't thought about all of the ways that we see those shapes in everyday life. A house is basically just a square or rectangle with a triangle on top. A TV is a rectangle. A table is a circle, rectangle or square.

Think about all of the different items in your home or office that can be built out of these basic geometric shapes.

That's all it takes to realize that you can create icons, graphics, decorations and other design elements out of your most basic geometric shapes. All you need to know is how to get started.

And that's why we're here! Watch the above video where Mike Ploger dives into several different types of shapes, what they mean and how you can easily and effectively use geometric shapes in design.
