Click HERE <\/a> to access my gestalt interpretation of I’m A Little Teapot.<\/p>\n

GESTALT PRINCIPLES SEEN:<\/p>\n

IMAGE 1: Continuity:<\/b> a fluid connection among compositional parts<\/span><\/p>\n

IMAGE 2: Closure:<\/b> A tendency to perceive a set of individual elements as a single, recognizable pattern, rather than multiple, individual elements. Refers to the mind\u2019s inclination to connect fragmentary information to produce a completed form<\/span><\/p>\n

IMAGE 3: Repetition: <\/b>occurs when we use the same visual element or effect over and over<\/span><\/p>\n

IMAGE 4: Containment: <\/b>a unifying force created by the outer edge of a composition or by a boundary within a composition<\/span><\/p>\n

IMAGE 5: Proximity: <\/b>unification of objects due to distance OR separation of objects due to distance between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

IMAGE 6: Continuation:<\/b> Elements arranged in a straight line or a smooth curve are perceived as a group and are interpreted as being more related than elements not on the line or curve.<\/span><\/p>\n

REFLECTION:<\/p>\n

What did you learn?<\/p>\n

“As my first ever digital media class, besides the last time I took a computer class in high school where we learned Paint, I learned a bit about Lightroom, Figma, and how gestalt is used to make some pretty amazing icons. I never knew that’s the principle used to make the iconic WWF logo and many others. It definitely gave me a lesson on different ways things can be perceived.<\/p>\n

What was easy?<\/p>\n

“NO, coming up with idea and how I wanted to tell the story of I’m a little teapot was pretty simple after some time, but actually putting my ideas on a computer, without much experience with these softwares, was the hardest and probably only frustrating part.”<\/p>\n

What was challenging?<\/p>\n

“After taking my own time to look at tips on how to use these softwares better and asking Professor Dunkle for help, I tried to minimize my challenge of not knowing Lightroom or Figma. As someone who never really considered themselves an artists, I am still unsure of all the little tips that might make a design a bit better, which was also a challenge.<\/p>\n

How could your submission be improved?<\/p>\n

“After seeing other example from class, I could have created less simplistic and literal designs. As someone from the science field, I want to challenge myself in understanding more creative perspectives.”<\/p>\n

How can the professor improve the assignment in the future?<\/p>\n

“I really enjoyed the project; It was like making a short picture book. I am not sure what I would change as an improvement but something fun I think we should make is a small story book instead of mounting them and then give them to kids at the school near by to grade\/assess them”<\/p>\n

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/p>\n

“I would love to make a pop up book one day and these principles would be fun and interesting to incorporate.”<\/p>\n

How did a specific reading, video or example inspire or help you?<\/p>\n

“https:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/2014\/03\/design-principles-visual-perception-and-the-principles-of-gestalt\/ this link helped me to understand the different concepts and perceptions within gestalt that I was unsure of.<\/p>\n\n\n
