Elements that are closer together will be perceived as a
coherent object.

8. LAW OF SIMILARITY
Elements that look similar will be perceived as part of the
same form.

9. LAW OF CLOSURE
We tend to fill the gaps or "close" the figures we perceive. We
enclose a space by completing a contour and ignoring gaps in
the figure.
