This is from class on Wednesday 8/31. We had to find the rest of the definitions for the remaining terms which I will post underneath. While filling in remaining terms, we had to begin mockup for our Visual Order books. My digital mockup of my final book is posted here.
- Similarity
- When objects are related to one another by color, shape, or texture, viewers will group these individual elements together
- Proximity
- When the correlation of objects relies on how close the objects are to each other
- Closure
- When an object is incomplete, or not fully closed, but the overall shape can be perceived by filling in the missing information.
- Continuation
- When the viewer interprets a line of curve as a continuous path, rather than separate lines
- Figure / Ground
- The distinction and perception of objects that stand out from its background
- Symmetry / Order
- The impression that nothing in the composition is out of balance, missing, or wrong
- Asymmetrical Balance
- When unequal visual weight is balanced with one side containing a dominant element and the other containing several smaller objects
- Dilation
- A figure expanding from a central point
- Focal Point
- When the main point or object is emphasized or different to catch and hold attention
- Uniform Connectedness
- Elements that are considered more connected by visual characteristics, such as a line, than elements that are not
