We see shapes that are similar or the same as part of one group.
Continuity
SImilarity
Figure/ground
Proximity
Items that are close together are perceived as one group, rather than individuals.
Symmetry/ order
Figure/ground
Proximity
Closure
Our brains fill in gaps to complete an image.
Closure
Proximity
Figure/ground
Similarity
Our brains typically perceive what appears to be in the foreground or focus of an image before the background.
Figure/ground
Symmetry/ order
Continuity
Closure
We have the tendency to continue contours wherever the elements or pattern establish an implied direction.
