South Park animated characters-- flat shapes, simple color

Two Dimensional design refers to any artwork (and/or design) that has height and width. It is usually flat like a photograph, drawing, print, poster, printed page, collage or painting.
When we add depth, things become three dimensional. We live in a three dimensional world (or four dimensional if you count time or 6 according to string theory). But in two dimensional art we are either creating patterns or images on a flat surface (like this silkscreen print of Andy Warhol and cartoon from South Park) or creating the illusion of the three dimensional world (like Leonardo da Vinci or M.C.Escher above).
