Gestalt theory proposes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It describes several "laws" of perceptual organization that the human brain uses to interpret visual elements as unified wholes or patterns. The key laws include: figure/ground relationships, symmetry, proximity, similarity, good continuation, closure, and Prägnanz (the tendency for simplicity and regularity). According to Gestalt theory, these principles guide how we group separate parts into meaningful forms and shapes.
Implication of Gestalt Principles in Consumer behavior. Gestalt Principles are principles/laws of human perception that describe how humans group similar elements, recognize patterns and simplify complex images when we perceive objects. Designers use the principles to organize content on websites and other interfaces so it is aesthetically pleasing and easy to understand.

The way people see a web page or digital design strongly affects its utility and the meaning that they take away. Gestalt principles tell people how to perceive visual objects, what they mean, and how they relate to one another within the user's experience. Design with these principles in mind to meet users' needs and leave a positive impression.

Gestalt is school in psychology that emphasizes the organized character of human experience and behavior. It refers to theories of visual perception. The word itself is German, meaning form, pattern, or configuration. Gestalt psychology emphasizes the study of human behavior that seeks patterns or wholes.

In dealing with problems in life, there's a more humanistic type of psychology called the Gestalt therapy. Read to know more about this effective approach.
This is an introduction to Gestalt Therapy, invented by Fritz Perls, presented by Glenn Berger, PhD. I learned the method at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York, under the auspices of Alan Cohen. I cover the discovery of Gestalt, contrasts to analysis, Field Theory, Figure/Ground, Contact Boundary, the Need Cycle, Layers of the Personality, Awareness, I/Thou, existential phenomenological method, and the goals of Gestalt therapy.
Gestalt psychology, school of psychology founded in the 20th century that provided the foundation for the modern study of perception. Gestalt theory emphasizes that the whole of anything is greater than its parts. That is, the attributes of the whole are not deducible from analysis of the parts in isolation.Gestalt Psychology Founder: Wolfgang Köhler, Max Wertheimer, and Kurt Koffka are the gestalt psychology founder.
2. meaning
Human is a species driven by a desire to make meanings:
above all, Designers are surely
Homo significans - meaning-makers.
3. perception
Why do some "beautiful" objects quickly lose their appeal, while others
seem to have a more lasting allure?
Do lasting truths guide our perception of what is beautiful?
Mankind has been fascinated by the notion of beauty
since before recorded history.

5. perception
Aesthetic perception
We can however distinguish two types of meaning criteria.
Constant criteria in all the groups of individuals: these ones are essentially
connected to psycho physiological mechanisms of the perception.
Variable criteria according to the groups of individuals: these ores are
connected to the psychological mechanisms of the perception with the
influence of cultural, sociological and environment factors.
6. perception
Aesthetic perception
A methodology resulting in an analysis of the aesthetic perception must
take account in first, the formal qualities of the object (Gestalt psychology
or psychology of the form), in connection with the mechanisms of the
perception (theory of the information), secondly the value of the object as
sign (semiotics) in connection with the mechanisms of social evolution.
10. gestalt
Aesthetic perception
In 1890 the Viennese philosopher, Christian von Errenfels, published a
book on " the qualities of the form ".
This work was first attempt towards the elaboration
of a new theory of the form.
"All the components taken together form a Gestalt, or whole structure.
He extended the same principle to logic and number theory:
11. gestalt
The word Gestalt is used in modern German to mean the way a thing has
been “gestellt”; i.e, "placed," or "put together."
There is no exact equivalent in English. "Form" is the usual translations; in
psychology the word is often rendered "pattern" or "configuration."
12. gestalt
One of the most important theories of perception is the Gestalt Theory.
It was developed about 1910 by Max Wertheimer and carried on by
Wolfgang Köhler and Kurt Koffka at Frankfurt University.
Psychology of form - Wolfgang Köhler
13. gestalt
A form is something else and something more than the sum of her parts.
A part in a whole is something else that this part isolated in another
whole.
Psychic facts are forms, that is to say organic unities, which become
more individual and limit themselves in the spatial
field of perception and representation.
Psychology of form - Wolfgang Köhler
14. gestalt
Every form is a function of some variable and not the sum of
several elements.
Forms are transposable it should to say that some properties are
preserved in the changes which affect in some way all their parts..
Psychology of form - Wolfgang Köhler
15. gestalt
Gestalt means when parts identified individually have different
characteristics to the whole (Gestalt means "organized whole")
e.g. describing a tree -
it's parts are trunk, branches, leaves,
perhaps blossoms or fruit
But when you look at an entire tree,
you are not conscious of the parts,
you are aware of the overall object: the tree.
Parts are of secondary importance
even though they can be clearly seen.
16. gestalt
In other term, Gestalt Psychology proposes the idea that nothing is
fully comprehensible out of context.
The essential point of gestalt is that in perception the whole is
different from the sum of his parts.
Psychology of form - Wolfgang Köhler
27. gestalt
This figure appears to the eye as a square
inside a circle, or as donut shaped circle with
a square hole.
Figure/ground reversals create a delightful
"surprise" in the viewer's eye. Many of the
best logos designed will use figure/ground
reversal to their advantage.
28. gestalt
In the terms of gestalt psychology, figure refers to an active,
positive form revealed against a passive, negative ground.
The figure can only be identified because of its background, and
the background only because of its figure.
29. gestalt
The white cross appears on a concentric
ground of circles, after one moment the image change and
another cross appears with strips on its surface on an white ground.
39. gestalt
Elements are close together will be perceive as a coherent object
On the left there appears to be four horizontal columns, while on the
right, the grouping appears to be rows
46. gestalt
Humans tend to continue contours whenever
the elements of the pattern establish an
implied direction
People tend to draw a good continuous line
53. gestalt
A stimulus will be organized into a good figure as possible. Here, good
means symmetrical, simple and regular
The left figure appears to the eye as a square overlapping triangle, not a
combination of several complicated shapes.
The right figure appears to the eye as square inside a circle.
57. gestalt
A word is a form; a disconnected suite of letter is not one of it.
A melody is more than the sum the various sounds.
The concrete is perceived as an entity, not as assembly of sand,
water and cement.
