Gestalt Principles

  1. Similarity: Elements that look similar are perceived to have the same function.
  2. Proximity: Elements that are close together appear to be more related than elements that are spaced farther apart.
  3. Common Region: Elements located within the same area are perceived to be grouped together.
  4. Closure: Humans subconsciously ‘complete’ the ‘incomplete’ objects or scenarios they see or perceive
  5. Continuity: Elements that are in same line, or curve are related
