A successful visual whole, or gestalt, is achieved by the careful combination of parts. A gestalt graphic designer works with shapes in both word and image, so this chapter stresses visual perception creating and perceiving shapes in typography and imagery. If we are icon aware of how the eye and brain organize marks on a surface to give them meaning, we symbol will be much more successful in creating designs that do what we intend.

They work with the fundamental shape principles of visual perception. When we look at a printed page, whether it is covered typography with type, illustrations, or a photograph, there is more than meets the eye. The brain is volume sifting and cataloging the visuals. We carry a load of experiences, innate responses, and realism physiological considerations that interact with the designs we see, whether they are in stylization print, Web, or other venues.

Designs that effectively use that process of visual percep- abstraction tion have the creative strength of sight itself on their side. Our past experience, our expec- sans serif tations, and the structure of the brain itself filter the information.

The visual illusions ascender created through this process are a real part of perception. Realism in art and design is descender not an absolute but a convention that our culture and personal background create from type size visual data. There is an interplay of tensions between shapes on a flat surface stress because the appearance of any one element or shape depends on its surroundings. Any mark drawn on paper stimulates an active, interpretive response from eye and brain. We finish uncompleted shapes, group similar shapes, and see foreground and back- ground on a flat surface.

The experiments of Gestalt psychologists led them to describe a basic law of visual perception: Any stimulus pattern tends to be seen as a structure as simple as conditions permit.

The eye and brain choose an ence, and culturally inculcated systems of signs and interpretation. Later chapters discuss this phenomenon from varying perspectives. In science, elegance and success result from explaining Semiotics is the study of influences on our perception. A It goes beyond linguistics to incorporate the visual similar elegance can be achieved on the printed page.

The field of A great deal may be happening on a page although few semiotics often breaks down visuals into the categories marks exist. In fact, adding more marks without under- of icon, symbol, and index. An icon looks like the thing standing their effect can often make less happen. That it represents. A road sign with an image of a deer is is poor design.

Words are also consid- and groups the images on a flat surface. Gestalt theory ered symbols of the thing they reference.

An index is is generally recognized as a useful tool for designing a visual we have learned to associate with a particular visual images so they will be comprehended as we meaning. For example, a thermometer is an index of intend. No single theory, however, explains all there is temperature. A footprint can indicate a deer. A nest can to visual perception. Much has yet to be discovered.

The study of semiotics crosses between the field of linguistics and the field of visual language.

We can recognize and read and black combine into a single figure? At its best, design becomes inseparable from positive and negative elements attract our attention communication.

A successful design depends on handling ground to explore. There are many examples in this both areas. Many beginning artists concentrate only chapter to enjoy and examine, including Figure b.

The gestalt notion that the whole is more than the mere sum of its parts is clearly illustrated by these examples. It is richly complex and deserves study. Here are some conditions under which one area appears as figure and another as ground. Use these principles when complet- ing the first exercise at the end of this chapter.

Figure 3—18 shows a richly textured theme of terms of shapes even though those shapes look like repeated rectangles in the surface treatment and basic dots or apples or oranges or letterforms Figure 3— Shape occurs in both figure and ground, in both type and image, and in both abstraction and realism.

A well-designed logo or illustration or Web page graph.

Vector graphics are like a cross-stitch embroi- dery pattern in which the yarn stays as separate interwoven strands. Raster graphics, on the other hand, are like a woven fabric in which the color pattern is dyed into the cloth. Vector graphics involve creating shapes that are clean edged and defined as geometric objects. Each vector object, whether a shape or a drawn line, can be easily selected and edited, repositioned, and transformed.

Vector graph- ics are resolution independent, which means that they retain crisp edges when enlarged. This is a powerful concept. However large or small you transform a vector file, it remains perfectly sharp. Typography, logo design, and some forms 3—22 Paul Rand.
