My Illustrator 2 class had a lively philosophical discussion about Gestalt Theory this week and I wanted to share some resources.
Comes from Gestalt Psychology
Summarized extremely simply: “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts”
Gestalt principles can be applied to design, human behavior/psychology and mindfulness/awareness.
5 principles: similarity, continuation, closure, proximity, figure/ground, and symmetry & order
Great link and another
