A formula is in disjunctive normal form if it is expressed as a disjunction of conjunctions. This might be visualized using Venn diagrams as then union of the regions where the formula holds true, expressed as intersections of the sets and their complements.
A formula is in conjunctive normal form if it is expressed as a conjunction of disjunctions. By De Morgan’s laws, the conjunctive normal form of P can be deduced from the negation of the disjunctive normal form of the negation of P.
