The Gestalt Principle

Figure & Ground
Closure
Proximity
Similarity
Continuity

Before I start my explanation, just look through the our group project video first.

Now I going to explain further on the gestalt principle

Figure & Ground

Elements are perceived as either figures (distinct elements of focus) or ground (the background or landscape on which the figures rest).

Closure

When looking at a complex arrangement of individual elements, humans tend to first look for a single, recognizable pattern.

Proximity

Things that are close to one another are perceived to be more related than things that are spaced farther apart.

Similarity

Things that are similar are perceived to be more related than things that are dissimilar.

Continuity

Continuous line has a flowing quality. The continuity of the line may occasionally be broken but the gaps are small and the eye moves on to the next section in a rhythmical manner.
