https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt Take a screenshot , or an advert from a magazine (one that includes a foreground and background though, not a close up of a face/product etc) put this picture in the padlet and identify the ‘things’ from the ‘not things’. Explain which Gestalt laws your perception is using in order to pick these figures out (you should be able to mention most of the laws). en-us 2016-09-28 16:34:52 UTC 2025-11-26 05:51:02 UTC hello@padlet.com pulli_m_220 https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/127726326 This is actually an advert by the way! However, this shows a very clear image of  one of Gestalt's laws: 'Figure and Ground' the man is the 'thing' and the 'not thing' is the yellow background. This helps us evaluate a visual scene. ]]> 2016-10-02 14:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/127726326 https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/127776137 Although it is not a complete panda, you still perceive it to be one. Also You can see that the main object that should be focused on is the panda, not the white background.

This law causes us to perceive a 1 in the figure even though there isn't a complete shape. There is also figure & ground in this image. The 'figure' is the formula one logo so our focus is on that. The 'ground' is the white background.

This shows figure and ground because the unicef sign and the symbol represent the figure while the the white background represents the ground as its simple, and plain.]]> 2016-10-04 05:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/128058344 https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/128256063 This is a good example of closure because we perceive there to be a thumbs up but in reality its just a planet with empty spaces.]]> 2016-10-04 16:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/128256063 https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/128711014 This ad shows figure and ground.

This is an example of figure and ground illusion. If you perceive the black part to be the figure you will see a tree while if you perceive the negative space to be the figure you will see a gorilla and tiger]]> 2016-10-06 08:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/128724712 https://padlet.com/breeg_p_02/uj6wlyot0egt/wish/128725161 There are blue lines across the screen that appear to make up the letters IBM.
