Behavioral Design Patterns
Behavioral patterns are those patterns that are concerned with communication between objects. They identify common communication patterns between objects, increasing behavior flexibility:

Structural Design Patterns
These patterns are about class and object composition. Their purpose is to simplify the design by identifying a clean way to realize relationships between entities:
