- Gestalt Principles
- Area & Symmetry
- Also known as figure/ground relationship
- Segregation
- What elements are ground and what is target object?
- Segregation
- Elements perceived as figures or ground
- Ground - Background or landscape on which figures rest
- Prefer symmetry
- Symmetrical objects go together
- Also known as figure/ground relationship
- Proximity
- Items near each other perceived more related than things spaced further apart
- Similarity
- Perceived to be more related
- Common fate
- Perceive elements moving in same direction as being more related than those which are stationary or moving in different directions
- Uniform connectedness
- Elements connected by uniform visual properties perceived as more related than those not connected.
- Good Continuation
- Elements arranged on a line or curve perceived to be more related than those not on the line or curve
- We fill in gaps and expect things to go in a certain order
- Closure
- When looking at arrangement of individual elements we look for a single recognisable patter
- Shows us an image that does not necessarily exist
- Theory criticised for being too simple
- What law dominates if more than one principle present?
- No consideration of role of movement, texture, colour or 3D
- Area & Symmetry
