What is the main idea of Gestalt theory?

• Objects are perceived as isolated parts

• Perception is based solely on learned experiences

• The whole is different from the sum of its parts

• Objects must be analyzed individually to be understood

Which principle explains how objects close to each other are perceived as a group?

• Continuity

• Proximity

• Closure

• Common Fate

The principle of figure-ground describes:

• The tendency to see a whole rather than individual parts

• How objects in motion are perceived together

• How the brain separates objects from their background

• The preference for symmetry in design

What principle ensures a logo remains recognizable even when resized or rotated?

• Continuity

• Invariance

• Common Fate

• Closure

If an image suggests a shape without fully outlining it, which principle is at work?

• Closure

• Similarity

• Symmetry

When elements move in the same direction, we perceive them as a group. What principle is this?

• Continuity

• Proximity

• Common Fate

• Symmetry

Why do we see an object as a whole before identifying its individual parts?

• Emergence

• Similarity

• Invariance

• Proximity

In design, why is proximity important?

• It ensures objects remain visually distinct

• It helps group related elements together for better organization

• It enhances symmetry in a composition

• It prevents elements from overlapping

Which principle helps guide the eye naturally through a design?

• Proximity

• Invariance

• Reification

• Continuity

What is the primary goal of Gestalt principles in design?
