Similarity

Graphic Design

This is an example of similarity, because even though there are circles, people will see them as triangles because the triangles make up the majority of the image. People will see the circles that are shaped as a triangle and they will see the similarity and relatedness of the rest of the triangles surrounding them.

Continuation  

Logo

This is an example of continuation because the elongated letters in cursive - especially the 'C's have lines pushing the viewers eyes through the whole logo. The 'coca' part particularly stands out because it looks like its underlined, where as the 'cola' part looks like it's been bordered and almost smushed. 

Closure

Photography

This is an example of closure, because the object and line is incomplete, but the eye can conclude with what it is given, the hand is forming a lightbulb. People are able to fill in the holes that are not connected and still see a light bulb. It sort of fools the eye into seeing continuous lines on either side.

Proximity

Drawing

This is an example of proximity because the cars are placed close together and are seen as a group because they are also alike. 

Figure and Ground

Painting

This is an example of figure and ground because the horses are the same as the area around them, blending them in. But with several lines, their faces and a bit of a 3D look for the horses, people are able to see them well enough. 

Common Fate

Photogram

This is an example of Common Fate, because people's eyes will be drawn to the smooth curves that go around all in the same direction, they won't be drawn to the lines that are disconnected from the main curve.
