A fascinating concept where elements come together to create a meaningful whole. This project was a journey through the lens of Gestalt, taking the classic nursery rhyme &#8220;London Bridge is Falling Down&#8221; and transforming it into a series of abstract visuals using only primitive shapes. Join me as I break down the design process, the application of Gestalt principles, and the creative challenges faced along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-1_2d3a9a-7a\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>     I chose the timeless nursery rhyme &#8220;London Bridge is Falling Down.&#8221; The challenge was to dissect the rhyme into six distinct parts, one for each frame, and represent them using nothing but basic shapes: polygons, ovals, triangles, lines, and more. The objective was to encapsulate the narrative of the rhyme in an abstract manner, encouraging viewers to think beyond the obvious. Below are each of my frames created using Figma, along with some principles found in each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tabs alignnone\"><div class=\"kt-tabs-wrap kt-tabs-id1_7552da-43 kt-tabs-has-6-tabs kt-active-tab-1 kt-tabs-layout-tabs kt-tabs-tablet-layout-inherit kt-tabs-mobile-layout-inherit kt-tab-alignment-left \"><ul class=\"kt-tabs-title-list\"><li id=\"tab-frame1\" class=\"kt-title-item kt-title-item-1 kt-tabs-svg-show-always kt-tabs-icon-side-right kt-tab-title-active\"><a href=\"#tab-frame1\" data-tab=\"1\" class=\"kt-tab-title kt-tab-title-1 \"><span class=\"kt-title-text\">Frame 1<\/span><\/a><\/li><li id=\"tab-frame2\" class=\"kt-title-item kt-title-item-2 kt-tabs-svg-show-always kt-tabs-icon-side-right kt-tab-title-inactive\"><a href=\"#tab-frame2\" data-tab=\"2\" class=\"kt-tab-title kt-tab-title-2 \"><span class=\"kt-title-text\">Frame 2<\/span><\/a><\/li><li id=\"tab-frame3\" class=\"kt-title-item kt-title-item-3 kt-tabs-svg-show-always kt-tabs-icon-side-right kt-tab-title-inactive\"><a href=\"#tab-frame3\" data-tab=\"3\" class=\"kt-tab-title kt-tab-title-3 \"><span class=\"kt-title-text\">Frame 3<\/span><\/a><\/li><li id=\"tab-frame4\" class=\"kt-title-item kt-title-item-4 kt-tabs-svg-show-always kt-tabs-icon-side-right kt-tab-title-inactive\"><a href=\"#tab-frame4\" data-tab=\"4\" class=\"kt-tab-title kt-tab-title-4 \"><span class=\"kt-title-text\">Frame 4<\/span><\/a><\/li><li id=\"tab-frame5\" class=\"kt-title-item kt-title-item-5 kt-tabs-svg-show-always kt-tabs-icon-side-right kt-tab-title-inactive\"><a href=\"#tab-frame5\" data-tab=\"5\" class=\"kt-tab-title kt-tab-title-5 \"><span class=\"kt-title-text\">Frame 5<\/span><\/a><\/li><li id=\"tab-frame6\" class=\"kt-title-item kt-title-item-6 kt-tabs-svg-show-always kt-tabs-icon-side-right kt-tab-title-inactive\"><a href=\"#tab-frame6\" data-tab=\"6\" class=\"kt-tab-title kt-tab-title-6 \"><span class=\"kt-title-text\">Frame 6<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"kt-tabs-content-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tab kt-tab-inner-content kt-inner-tab-1 kt-inner-tab_73107d-71\"><div class=\"kt-tab-inner-content-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:35% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/gajewskk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/2023\/09\/FRAME-1_London-bridge-is-falling-down-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/gajewskk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/2023\/09\/FRAME-1_London-bridge-is-falling-down-1.png 600w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/gajewskk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/2023\/09\/FRAME-1_London-bridge-is-falling-down-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/gajewskk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/2023\/09\/FRAME-1_London-bridge-is-falling-down-1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-base-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>London Bridge is Falling Down (Principle: Proximity)<br>The first frame uses proximity to convey the theme.

language of shapes. It pushed boundaries and tested the limits of design, showing that even with constraints, innovation thrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     It serves as a reminder that art and design are ever-evolving, a continuous process of growth and refinement. Each shape was a step forward, and while perfection may be elusive, progress is certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-1_01d835-c1\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflecting on the Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In hindsight, this project provided valuable insights into the world of graphic design. Here are some reflections on the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What did I learn?<\/summary>\n<p>This project allowed me to create images from the basics everyone knows and loves: shapes! As a graphic designer, it furthered my understanding of Gestalt design concepts in action. The simplicity of the designs allowed me to focus on the properties more than the actual work. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What was easy?<\/summary>\n<p>Having a starting concept for any given panel was the easy part. The familiarity of the nursery rhyme provided a solid foundation for creativity. My early sketches definitly changed and evolved as I progressed into the final result, but I hit the ground running from the start.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What was challenging?<\/summary>\n<p>Finding and utilizing Gestalt principles throughout each frame was the real challenge. It required thoughtful consideration of how shapes and their arrangements could convey the intended narrative. In my first frame I take a very literal approach to the London Bridge collapsing. As the frames go on, I had to begin thinking outside of the box to not only potray a story, but Gestalt in action!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How could my submission be improved?<\/summary>\n<p>Some more fine tuning and tweaking of each frame could enhance the project. As any graphic designer knows, there&#8217;s always room for improvement in the pursuit of perfection. Looking back I&#8217;d take the opportunity to make my frames more abstract. Allowing for more creative flexability with the principles we were tasked with portraying.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/summary>\n<p>In the spirit of creativity, opening the room to songs or poems as potential source material could enrich the assignment. It would invite a wider range of submissions and offer students the chance to explore diverse artistic opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How might I apply this knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/summary>\n<p>Gestalt principles can be applied to everything in art and design. This exercise has equipped me with a valuable tool that I can use in future assignments or even in day-to-day creative endeavors. Not only that, but it has helped to shape a new perception of finding Gestalt principles in everyday design. From notable brand name logos, to an advertisment for home appliances, and many more.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Did a specific reading or video inspire or help me?<\/summary>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webfx.com\/blog\/web-design\/gestalt-principles-applied-in-design\/\">website<\/a> listing each principle and how they can be applied was helpful at the start! It served as a valuable reference point, along with the slides provided in class.
