Gestalt Principles of Visual Perception We perceive objects as well-organized patterns rather than separate components.Percibimos objetos como formas bien organizadas más que como todos sus componentes por separado “The whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.”El todo es algo más que la suma de las partes.

Law of figure and background Ley de fondo-figura We impose visual organization on stimuli

Law of figure and background Law of contrast/Ley de contraste We see more clearly those elements that stand out of the rest because of: colour, shape, size or position. That is the figure, the rest is the background

Law of camouflage /homogeneity La homogeneidad Its difficult see the difference between the figure and the background

Law of closure Ley de cierre If there are gaps in figure , we use our experoience to complete its contour

Law of proximity Ley de proximidad We perceive elements that are close together as the same object

Law of similarity Ley de similitud We see elements what look similars as a part Of the same form

Law of good continuity Ley de coontinuidad o buena forma We tend to see elements with the same direction as part of the same coomposition,sometimes, they follow a visual line
