Gestalt Week! Day 7

And with that, Gestalt Week is over! I have nothing more to say on the subject!

Gestalt Week! Day 6

About one out of every five posts on this blog is about gestalt. It's a pretty basic design principle. We're done learning about it in school. I don't want this to be that blog that talks about gestalt all the time. In the future I should do some better week-long series.

This one is lines.

Gestalt Week! Day 5

My instructor doesn't like arrows. He thinks they're a cheap way to draw attention to something, a universal symbol that serves as a shortcut when legitimate methods would work equally as well.

So I made him this.

It's gonna be a good school year.

Gestalt Week! Day 4

In case anyone was wondering, I made all these for extra credit. It just occurred to me that I was tagging all of these "school" without ever really explaining why.

It's difficult to find things to say about this after a few days.

Banana.

Gestalt Week! Day 3

White space at the cost of balance! Hooray!

Gestalt Week! Day 2

Gestalt week continues! For whatever reason I have a bunch of these!

Gestalt Week! Day 1

I haven't posted in a while. Mostly because there hasn't been a lot to post. It's been all essays and videos this past week, and I can't guarantee next week will have much else in it. So here's a week of more gestalt stuff!

Rules:

1. Four panels, one principle of gestalt on each.
2. Designs must be subtractive: no white outside the panels may be added.
3. Black and white only. No shades of gray.

So here's some minimalism!
