Description:
tactile texture: Tactile means touch. Tactile texture is the actual (3D) feel of a surface. This of paramount importance to three-dimensional design but of only moderate interest in two-dimensional design.
visual texture: Visual texture refers to the illusion of the surface's texture. It is what tactile texture looks like (on a 2D surface). Visual texture is always a factor in a composition because everything has a surface and hence a texture.
Texture is one of the more subtle design elements. It can make an image richer and more interesting, but is not likely to save a poor composition all by itself
