The simple incidence structure formed by points and unordered pairs of distinct parallel lines of a finite affine plane of order is a design. If , is the complementary design of . If , is isomorphic to the geometric design (see [2; Theorem 1.2]). In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a design to be of the form for some finite affine plane of order . As a consequence we obtain a characterization of small designs .
