I decided to watch this video as a training for my patience, supporting your way of chitchatting, giving long rounds before going straight to the point. I'm on 00:59 and you are already demanding lots of patience.

[@ashtentheplatypus]

My therapist recommended "Gestalt Therapy", and said I should research it before our next session. Even though this video is about design, it actually cleared up a lot of confusion I had about gestalt therapy. Essentially, I tend to think of myself in terms of individual, non-unique traits, and struggle to see how I'm unique as an individual if each of my traits can be fulfilled by other people. It makes a whole lot more sense why my therapist would recommend gestalt therapy after learning about how gestalt theory applies to design.

[@abdulrahmantayeb1773]

I agree 100% far better than lecturers

[@DarrenMcStravick]

Just a few more resources for beginners: - The Principle of Inclusiveness - The Law of Prägnanz - Psychophysical Isomorphism - The Principle of Contemporaneity - The Zeigarnik Effect These should be pretty useful to slingshot you into deeper studies.

[@TipTut]

Darren McStravick Nice!

[@yusof843]

I'm wondering is this some sort psychology theory that applies to design theory? As far as I know, when we talk about art & design what comes to my mind is Element & Principle of Design.. 😅

[@frechjo]

​@@yusof843 Yes, the Gestalt school developed as a psychological theory about perception. There are therapeutic gestaltic psychologists too (not sure how it works there, I think it has to do with modifying behavior in part to affect the whole, or something like that). It was the first solid scientific description for these kind of phenomena, so it proved useful in visual arts and design, and it became part of the curricula for most related studies.

Excellent explanation of Gestalt with clear visual examples. This video was a great supplement to classroom materials. Thank you for your efforts in creating the video and content.

Much love from a Psychology Student who has Gestalt Psychology in my first year of studies

[@alexafloyd2870]

I'm studying for my MCAT & this is a concept that is slightly covered in one of the textbooks, but the lack of depth and explanation left me confused on some of the principles. This video was super helpful to me for understand the gestalt principles & how to apply them!! Thank you!

[@jodz7983]

For an autistic person who loves logos this is fantastic for me. This meets my visual learning style and makes it so easy to follow. Thank you

Awesome intro to gestalt. Surprised this hasn't received much love

[@sasankawithanage4083]

Better than campus lecture, love it

[@Softskills-hiddenPersonalPower]

Brilliant video. I use GESTALT as part of Coaching young people to be successful in their careers by seeing "The Big Picture" in workplace situations. What's great about your video is people generally are unaware of the forces impacting there behaviour in meetings etc, they just don't see them! Your video is in effect an Analogy because you reveal the hidden psychological "Forces" or more accurately "Subconscious Thought paths" that influence our perception of what we see. Our minds take the raw visual inputs and construct "The Big Picture". YOUR EFFORTS are much appreciated by an audience beyond designers!

We had to watch this as part of one of our modules in psychology. Easier to understand than crash course. Thanks!!

[@NTSTS0]

We enjoyed this very well-condensed and elaborately explained lecture. We feel like 'Gestalt Theory' is one of the most complicated thought-organizing paradigms in Western thought, and having it in our bag of tricks is very helpful. We hope to watch more of yr videos in the future. :)

[@rickydelacruz6199]

Do you have any book recommendations that cover more examples and break downs of these principles? Not that it wasn’t clearly explained but to see more examples in the creative use of the principles to widen my vocabulary of the usage.

[@dn9255]

I don't think that's how the continuation principle is usually interpreted. The gap is usually the key element. It's about separated elements creating a line which you follow through and you fill the gaps in your mind. Like the underline in ProQuest is not seen as 2 lines, but 1. Or in generall, when we have Text, the bottom part of the text is aligned an therefore creates a line, that leads or eyes.

[@TipTut]

Solid point, but entirely subjective. Ultimately, it's about the line, regardless of whether you see the positive or the negative (the figure and ground you might say!). It's about how your eye moves through certain elements at the expense of others: the continuation of the perceived path.

Can you please explain law of surroundedness by Gestalt psychology?

[@waitin4winter]

I learned this in architecture school, but as a musician I became interested in how this also applies to sound and music. My bass player tells me that I'm supposed to be playing certain notes, but when I go back to listen to the source music, the notes are not there and I figure his mind must be trying to fill in the gaps with notes that seem like they would be there but are actually not.

[@troygoggans5495]

Can we be born with some of these principals instinctively? I know I have always been able to see pass 2d drawing or pictures to visualize the figure in 3d but I have trouble memorizing words for spelling test. I know people who can memorize the spelling of words by looking at them for just a moment.

[@deepdoshi2734]

I have also read about something known as the Law of Common Fate. Objects that move together are perceived to be together. Can you please explain that?

It's basically proximity, direction and similarity but moving together :)

[@walteralter9061]

What would Gestalt Theory say about the effects of resolution factor on categorizing phenomena? If we zoom in on an object, how does our "naming" of what we see change? Is this change lawful/predictable? Also, as we zoom in on say a boundary, the less distinct it becomes until it eventually disappears. It is clear that science (and conscciousness) progress in a manner that increases in detail resolution. The new Webb Telescope, for example, is challenging astronomy's love affair with "dark matter" and "big bang" because of its higher detail resolution. It is also clear that the path from childhood to adulthood is largely characterizable by the effects of incorporating greater detail into one's world view. This action of detail incorporation can be traumatic when it kills off the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

Very nice video! I was just wondering one thing: Does the Closure Principle only work when the displayed objects or pattern are known by the viewer? For example, would the WWF logo work on a person who has never seen a panda bear (or other similar looking creatures) before? What do you think?

[@TipTut]

Good question! Some things are based on users past experience, but generic information, for example a circle, spiral, etc would be just fine.

[@chanelmulhaupt3267]

@@TipTut Thanks for the quick reply! I guess that makes total sense. Btw thanks to your tutorials I've finally taken the courage to start with motion design and I haven't felt this motivated and inspired in a while. So thank you! :)

Dear Tiptup, I am currently doing a project on Gestalt Theory. I am having trouble determining its basic concepts, constructs, and assumptions. I have tried looking at numerous articles, but I am having trouble pairing down the information for my short presentation. Could you direct me to some credible resources I can cite? I am a first year masters student. -- Best, Gordon Xiong

can anyone explain me the difference between closure and fig ground?? im bit confused

[@dustinjd]

While these explanations do well to define the mechanics of the principle, how are they used to assess/assist a patient? I only ask because I can't seem to find this answer.

[@TipTut]

You have to apply these principles to your own work. for example, do you have information that you'd like to be associated with other information in the same design? The principle of proximity, or similarity/anomally might help. Use these theories to inform your design decisions.
