Gestalt Principles
A set of principles describing how the human visual system organises visual elements into groups or unified wholes. Key principles include proximity, similarity, continuity, closure, and figure-ground.
Explained
- The visual system organises elements into groups and wholes automatically.
- Proximity, similarity, continuity, and closure all signal how the pieces relate.
- People read these groupings before they read a single word of content.
- Good spacing and alignment communicate structure that would otherwise need explaining.
