Laws of Gestalt Psychology

           For laws of the Gestalt Psychology, I’ve found some of the photos/designs to related to this theory.

About the closure, viewers add the missing elements to complete a figure when there is enough information to enable the completion.  Although the head of the soldiers are blocked by the American flag in this picture, the head or the shape behind the flag is still be imagined by the viewers.  It’s kind of closure law of Gestalt Psychology as we will project a virtual image, the head of the soldier, in our mind.  It’s quite funny! 

  Closure

           For this one, it fulfills the law of common fate since we perceived the wordings, “look at me, follow me, read me!” as a unit while they are moving in the same direction.  We read out the sentence easily with no doubt.  The wordings of the sentence are stay still in the same direction while the remaining are tilted into different angle which the viewers will not spot out any meaning of it.

 Common fate

           For the law of proximity, regional or chorological closeness of elements are grouped by our mind and seen as belonging together.  And this can be applied in the following picture.  Actually, this picture is shown by countless dots, they can be meaningless, but we receive it as a picture which a man is riding on a horse and holding a gum since we group the dots automatically by our mind.  Thus, a picture is shown to us rather than just numerous dots with no meaning.
