== Gestalt Principles ==<br />
<br />
Similarity<br />
* Similarity occurs when objects look similar to one another. People often perceive them as a group or pattern. <br />
<br />
Continuation<br />
* Continuation occurs when the eye is compelled to move through one object and continue to another object. <br />
<br />
Closure<br />
* Closure occurs when an object is incomplete or a space is not completely enclosed. If enough of the shape is indicated, people percieve the whole by filling in the missing infomation.<br />
<br />
Proximity<br />
* Proximity occurs when elements are placed close together. They tend to be perceived as a group. <br />
<br />
Figure and Ground<br />
* The eye differentiates an object form its surrounding area. a form, silhouette, or shape is naturrally perceived as figure (object), while the surrounding area is perceived as ground (background).<br />
