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.

[@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

[@dindangdere7779]

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

[@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.

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!

[@Misschellesea]

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.

[@KW-yl5ds]

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

[@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!

[@sasankawithanage4083]

Better than campus lecture, love it

[@drma2ueen1718]

Fun fact, the Starbucks siren isn't actually symmetrical. There are some small differences between left and right that I didn't learn about until I used to work there. But, I still get the concept and this was a very short and concise video but still incredibly informative

[@anammorar]

You just summarize a subject from my class. Thanks Sir

[@odidibassey]

Wow. I didn't even notice the peacock in the NBC logo. Well done Sir.

[@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. :)

[@karmalund6970]

Some are saying this is better than a college lecture. Welp, I'll be using this as my lecture

[@SkullDrag2]

[@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.

[@kur0shi]

Another valuable video man! I wish I could show this to college-freshman me, it would have jumpstarted my design knowledge. I'll certainly be sharing this one ^^

[@varunkapoor1721]

One of the best explanations ever!

[@TipTut]

Glad you think so!

[@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.

[@moniquepascaud7223]

Excellent, thanks for sharing.

[@JBmusicart]

I learned this in college. And every job I've had since has been working for people who think I didn't learn anything in college. The best thing I've been told is "you don't need a degree to be a designer". And I usually bring up Gestalt. And inform them of my two degrees and twenty years of experience.

I did not say or imply that my experience watching your production was ruined, or in any way diminished. In fact, I appreciated the content very much. I just wanted to call your attention to the grammatical mistakes to make you aware of them, and make corrections as needed. Your presentation was very professional and clear, well done. Maybe , just maybe, you might have another person review your production before you post it; that's what a publisher of written material would do.j

[@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.

I don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but on the closure part (6:45) the last word "information" is missing a letter, in the same sentence where you speak about missing information. If it was on purpose then props to you man haha! Either way an amazing video, finally found the starting point for how do I understand why I like a logo or a design, why I like how they look and etc. Writing almost all of this down!

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.
