At the start, Dr.Adel started discussing and bringing the main point in the intro about the history of Gestalt -Three psychologists came up with different theories about how a human perceives a picture -Rudolf Arnheim is who came up with “Art and Visual Perception: in 1945 which made Universities use it today to understand the theories -The principles of Gestalt are: >Similiarity: Which is when things look identical >Continuation: Which is when your eye shifts from an area to another because of an element used in the design >Closure: Which is when you close things by your own perception of how they should look >Proximity: Which is when elements in a design are next to each other forming a single shape >Figure/Ground: Which is when you make a perception of what is the background of the original image because of the shadows creating it. So there are actually two designs in one design you could say >Symmetry & Order: Which is when the elements in the design create a balanced design that is following a single system. The reasons all these principles are important are because with them you will be able to create a good design that follows the order in different ways. When working on these principles you will realize there are levels to implementing them. You can implement them simply, and you can also implement them by focusing and finding true creativeness like Escher in 1938 when he created a marvelous design for figures and ground. These types of artists are the ones that create unique well-designed work that lasts for centuries. In conclusion, the gestalt principles are all important in their own unique way and that is very important to know because when you focus on a unique principle and you implement it properly, your level of creativeness will exceed and the design will be much more than just a good design, and that is exactly what we are looking for. All designs are designed by me. 👆🏽
