hmmm... what's the diff between a shape (countour) and a form then?
is it something like shape=silhouette and form=volume?

sorry. probably makes no sense to you. the distinction makes sense in portuguese though:
shape = silhueta =~ outline 2D
form = forma =~ outline 3D, a shape with volume.

just pointing out that those words lack double meanings is portuguese. it's a language for cavemen.

I think 'vorm' would be better translated to 'shape' than to 'form', although the verb 'vormen' could be translated to either 'to form' or to 'to give shape'
- external appearance (shape)
as in: that sculpture has a nice shape- physical stamina (shape)
as in: she is in good shape- behaviour / manners (form)
as in: good form, old chap!- verb / to form
as in: I'm forming an opinionin Dutch the traditional translation for designer is 'vormgever' wich translates to 'formgiver'
