Great video :D very clearly and calmy explained everything. I still find it very hard to know what meaning everything has when i create something other than "it looks pretty cool" but this definitly helped me get some understanding on it. Thank you.
Triangles often have masculine connotations owing to the use of the circle and arrow for the god Mars, whereas for women, the symbol was a circle and cross. An arrow head is simply a 2-sided triangle.
Very interesting. Curious about this. Feels like so many impressions could be attached to shapes, I suppose those are fluid, and depend on context, but interesting to also think there are continuing conscious or subconscious cultural ideas.
I think triangles are notable with Mitsubishi, namely the relationship between them and the name of Mitsubishi. "Mi" is the native Japanese word for "three", and is still used in counting as "mitsu". Triangles also have 3 sides, and it is notable, as well, that the logo is also split into 3 diamonds. Also, with the association to power, Mitsubishi was formerly part of the powerful, old Japanese "zaibatsu" which were large financial cliques that had a lot of power over the economy in Imperial Japan. Just thought this was worth bringing up, as it has a deep relation with both the company's name and history.
Also the triangle representing religion could also be phrased as representing order (which religion offers as a guide to align reality into a digestible template). Squares have a sort of closed off, unmalleable feeling to them, but triangles carry some of that feeling of strength and foundation while also giving a sense of versatility and optimism or openness. Direction as you pointed out.
Thank you very much. Very well presented. Explained professionally, methodically, easy to understand. Yes, you are separating yourself from the boys :-)
Is it possible for an artist to be so naturally talented and not know shape theory and still follow these rules? Is it possible for an artist to just subconsciously know this because it looks great, and the art gives a feeling? So it must be right which in turn uses all of these shape theory rules?
I don't believe in the word talent in the context of design, but yes things can look inherently pleasing and you can of course use this stuff without realising. In design, it's better to understand, because your work has a purpose, and you have to consistently fulfil that purpose.
you have a great voice for teaching. I could sit and listen for hours
Well thanks!

Thank you for the introduction to shape theory! (Side note: I think Dominos logo is a square because pizza boxes are square.)

Great video, thank you. Is there a book you would recommend on Gestalt theory for artists?
Awesome video!
Wow!! Thanks a lot!
I came here trying to figure out why the triforce represents itself so well with such a basic shape and here you are using it for the example 😂
