Gestalt's principles of visual perception and its principles

Every stimulus is perceived in its most simple form.

2. VISUAL PERCEPTION Visual perception refers to the brain's ability to make sense of what the eyes see.

3. “People will perceive and interpret ambiguous or complex images as the simplest form(s) possible.” Law of Prägnanz   (or Law of Simplicity)

4. Everything is viewed as a whole, not as a individual pieces of whole. Gestalt’s Principles

5. a. Figure and Ground b. Proximity c. Similarity d. Closure e. Symmetry f. Continuity g. Focal Point Gestalt Principles of Visual Perception

6. Figure and Ground States’ that Eye distinguishes an object from its surrounding area. A form or a shape is perceived as a figure, while the surrounding area is perceived as the ground (background).

7. Proximity States’ that the objects that are near or close to each other are perceived as a group.

8. Similarity States’ that items that are similar to each other are perceived as a group. If there is an assortment of objects, we perceptually group the similar ones together. Similarity can occur in terms of shape, color, texture or other qualities.

9. Closure States’ that people perceive objects such as shapes, letters, pictures etc., as being whole when they are not complete. This means that when the parts of a whole picture are missing, our perception fills in the visual gap.

10. Symmetry States’ that the mind tries to see a center point in between the objects and tries to perceive objects as being symmetrical. The similarities between symmetrical objects facilitate grouping them to form a combined symmetrical object.

11. Continuity States’ that if the objects are aligned, they are perceived as a group and integrated into a perceptual whole. If there is an intersection between objects, people perceive the two objects as two single uninterrupted objects.

12. Focal point States’ that whatever stands out visually will capture and hold the viewer's attention first.
