Gestalk Principles

This is by far the most boring and unchallenging assignment ever.

Initial thoughts:
This is by far the most boring and unchallenging assignment ever.
I was supposed to explain why the picture below was a bad example of the gestalt principles. However, the class thought it was a good example. So here's my take on why they are both good and bad.

-Figure and ground: Good contrast such that you can tell apart the cartoons from the face in the foreground.

-Proximity: Failure to differentiate the different cartoons in the face, lack of any grouping.

-Similarity: Too many jumbled up cartoons to be set apart. However, you can tell it’s meant to be that way, so in a way, they are similar.

-Continuity: Lack of continuity with all the cartoons jumbled up.

-Closure: Lack of closure to where the cartoons in the middle will end. However, there is closure when it comes to the face in the foreground.
Final thoughts:
BOOORINGGGG
