Gestalt Theory

This week we know about Gestalt Theory. It is a general description for the concepts that make unity and variety possible in design. It has five gestalt concepts: Closure, Continuance, Similarity, Proximity and Alignment.

For my working, I focus on Continuance and Proximity.

Continuance

it describes a device for directing the viewer's attention when looking at a composition. For this image, there are 4 images and people are focusing on 2 big images on the left and the most looking image is the left bottom.

Proximity

Proximity relationships will generally dominate over similarity relationships. There are four specific types of proximity relationships that will be studied in this lesson: close edge, touch, overlap and combining. This image also has 4 elements.

Close edge: The general concept for proximity states that the closer items are to one another, the more likely they are to be seen as a group. The amount of space involved is relative. For this, after each text, it will have image to explain. However, it is difference for the last image. It has explained some words later.

Touch and Combine: On the left top, 3 texts are shown 2 elements. They seem to be attached together. This makes for a stronger gestalt than close edge.

Overlap: Two colors are used in the image to show the overlaps better. The texts has two kinds of colors: the main text is black for normal and the tittle is red for outside and yellow for inside. Finally, the tittle texts of this images have also 2 kinds of colors: the name of tittle is red (outside) and yellow (inside), it has the contrast with the extra texts. The overlapped items form a strong group regardless of color.

Fan of Arsenal ^^

This early morning, AS Roma-Arsenal. I, fan of Arsenal (I named short name: Ars), could not sleep to enjoy this game.

For the last game, Ars won AS Roma 1-0 at Fly Emirates on home soil, thanks to a Robin van Persie penalty and the Dutchman led the attack again, alongside Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner. At this game, Ars went to Burnley to compete AS Roma. At the first half, Roma made a bright start to the game, although defender Juan suffered a hamstring injury which almost forced him off. However, he stayed on to open the scoring after just nine minutes.

The second half started slowly and it took until almost the hour mark before Emmanuel Eboue ran clear down the right, but slid his pass across the face of goal just too far in front of Bendtner.

After 90 minutes (and 5 minutes added) the scores 1-1 agg (I did not know "agg" is short name of what!!!!), so they would have extra game. And it still was 1-1 at the end of extra game. They must have the tie ended locked at 1-1 on aggregate.

For the first 5 couple pens, 4-4 for each team. (for the first pen, the defender caught Arsenal player. I was worried a lot. If Ars lost.... The second pen, the defender caught AS Roma player). So the game would continuous for 3 couple pens. For the last pen, AS Roma player shot the ball up.

Arsenal won!!!!
