Design -Minibrief Four, Unity / Gestalt

Unity and gestalt are elements that are crucial to design. Unity can be described as the presentation of an integrated image, elements of an image that look as though they belong together, similar components of an image and showing that the whole is dominent over the parts. In design we typically tend to close space between nearby objects and there are usually clues to be able to understand the unity, which is known as Gestalt. (See class resources document)

The following images are my taken on unity and gestalt.

Proximity: proximity of water drops.

Varied of repetition: same shapes and colours repeated variously throughout the image

Continuity: The same shape continued throughout the image.

Repetition: Repetition of shape in tessilation

Grid: collage grid with continued and repeated shapes.

Pattern: unity of pattern, repeated shapes and colours showing they belong together. Gestalt by closing the space between the shapes.
