Types and Styles
Different techniques could be used in ASCII art to obtain different artistic effects. Electronic circuits and diagrams were implemented by typewriter or teletype and provided the pretense for ASCII.

.--. /\ ____ '--' /__\ (^._.^)~ <(o.o )>Solid art, for creating filled objects:
.g@8g. db 'Y8@P' d88bShading, using symbols with various intensities for creating gradients or contrasts:
:$#$: "4b. ':. :$#$: "4b. ':.Combinations of the above, often used as signatures, for example, at the end of an email:

Famous quotes containing the words types and/or styles:
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
