  1. PBA Front-End Programming Gestalt Laws

  2. Gestalt Laws • The standard page compo-sition ”pattern” seems to be well-established; it works! • But…why does it work…? • Because it employs many of the Gestalt Laws

  3. Gestalt Laws • Gestalt Laws are a part of Cognition Psychology – how we percieve things in the surrounding world • Gestalt (from German) means ”a whole structure or form, that emerges when a set of smaller, simpler components are combined in a certain way” • Not a perfect translation…

  4. Gestalt Laws

  5. Gestalt Laws

  6. Gestalt Laws • The Gestalt Laws are a set of statements about perception of elements in a certain context • About ten laws – we will discuss some of them in the following

  7. Gestalt Laws • Law of Proximity • Elements that are close to each other will be perceived as one single structure

  8. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …four vertical columns… • …or… • …seven horizontal rows… • …or… • …28 unrelated dots…?

  9. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …four vertical columns… • …or… • …seven horizontal rows… • …or… • …28 unrelated dots…?

  10. Gestalt Laws • Law of Similarity • Elements that look similar will be perceived as one single structure

  11. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …12 unrelated columns… • …or… • …six groups of two columns, alternating between white and yellow?

  12. Gestalt Laws • Law of Closure • Humans have a tendency to perceive an incomplete structure as complete (to close or fill the gaps)

  13. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …five unrelated circle fragments… • …or… • …a circle?

  14. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …five unrelated circle fragments… • …or… • …a circle?

  15. Gestalt Laws • How many triangles do you see in the pictures…?

  16. Gestalt Laws • Law of Closure (variant) • Elements within a bounding structure will be perceived as one single structure

  17. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …six groups of two columns, alternating between white and yellow… • …or… • …three boxes con-taining a varying number of dots?

  18. Gestalt Laws • These three laws… • Law of Proximity • Law of Similarity • Law of Closure • …are used very often in web design!

  19. Gestalt Laws Law of Proximity: These menu items are related, and are physically close

  20. Gestalt Laws Law of Similarity: These menu items are related, and they look similar

  21. Gestalt Laws Law of Similarity: These menu items are related, and they look similar (but different from the other types of menu items)

  22. Gestalt Laws Law of Closure: Do we have a outline of a box here…?

  23. Gestalt Laws Law of Closure: Do we have a outline of a box here…?

  24. Gestalt Laws • Law of Prägnanz (or Good Form) • Humans tend to order a set of elements into one simple, recognisable form

  25. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …a triangle and a square.. • …or… • …three geometric figures… • …or… • 11 linies…?

  26. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …a mysterious face on the surface of Mars… • …or… • …just a random effect caused by light and shadow…?

  27. Gestalt Laws • Law of Isomorphism (or Past Experience) • Past experience and context has an influence on how we perceive an element

  28. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …the letter ”B” • …or… • …the number 13…?

  29. Gestalt Laws • You are on a Danish website… • What do you expect to happen, when you click on these icons…?

  30. Gestalt Laws • Law of Good Continuation • When there is an intersection between two or more objects, we tend to perceive each object as a single uninterrupted object

  31. Gestalt Laws • How did we produce this figure…?

  32. Gestalt Laws • How did we produce this figure…? + =

  33. Gestalt Laws • How did we produce this figure…? + =

  34. Gestalt Laws • Law of Figure and Ground • We tend to organize our perceptions by distinguishing a figure from a ground

  35. Gestalt Laws • Is this… • …a vase... • …or… • …two faces in silhouette?
