Gestalt principles in UI design.

Gestalt principles refer to the way our brains process and organize visual information. These principles are used in UI design to create a cohesive and intuitive user experience. Some of the key Gestalt principles include:

  1. Proximity: This refers to the way elements that are close to each other are perceived as being related.

  2. Similarity: Elements that are similar in appearance are perceived as being part of the same group.

  3. Continuation: Our brains tend to follow lines or curves, and we perceive elements as being connected if they are aligned with each other.

  4. Closure: When elements are not completely enclosed, our brains fill in the gaps to perceive a complete shape.

  5. Figure-ground: We tend to perceive one element as the "figure" and the other elements as the "ground."

By applying these principles, designers can create more cohesive and intuitive layouts for UI elements.
