Categories of Design Pattern:
A glossary from the well known design book, Domain-Driven Terms, states that
"A design pattern names, abstracts, and identifies the key aspects of a common design structure that make it useful a reusable object-oriented design. The design pattern identifies the participating classes and their instances, their roles and collaborations, and the distribution of responsibilities.
Each design pattern focuses on a particular object-oriented design problem or issue. It describes when it applies, whether or not it can be applied in view of other design constraints, and the consequences and trade offs of its use. Since we must eventually implement our designs, a design pattern also provides sample, code to illustrate an implementation.
Although design patterns describe object-oriented designs, they are based on practical solutions that have been implemented in mainstream object-oriented programming languages.."
Design patterns can be broken down into a number of different categories. In this section we'll review three of these categories and briefly mention a few examples of the patterns that fall into these categories

Creational Design Patterns
Creational design patterns focus on handling object creation mechanisms where objects are created in a manner suitable for the situation we're working in. The basic approach to object creation might otherwise lead to added complexity in a project whilst these patterns aim to solve this problems by controlling the creation process.
Some of the patterns that fall under this category are: Constructor, Factory, Abstract, Prototype, Singleton and Builder.

Structural Design Patterns
Structural Design Patterns are concerned with object composition and typically identify simple ways to realize relationships between different objects. They help ensure that when one part of system changes, the entire structure of the system doesn't need to do the same. They also assist in recasting parts of the system which don't fit a particular purpose into those that do.
Patterns that fall under this category include: Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, Adapter and Proxy
Behavioral Design Patterns
Behavioral patterns focus on improving or streamlining the communication between disparate objects in a system.
Some behavioral patterns includes: Iterator, Mediator, Observer and Visitor.
