Gestalt Principles

Similarity

  • Similarity occurs when objects look similar to one another. People often perceive them as a group or pattern.

Continuation

  • Continuation occurs when the eye is compelled to move through one object and continue to another object.

Closure

  • 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.

Proximity

  • Proximity occurs when elements are placed close together. They tend to be perceived as a group.

Figure and Ground

  • 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).
