I decided to watch this video as a training for my patience, supporting your way of chitchatting, giving long rounds before going straight to the point. I'm on 00:59 and you are already demanding lots of patience.
My therapist recommended "Gestalt Therapy", and said I should research it before our next session. Even though this video is about design, it actually cleared up a lot of confusion I had about gestalt therapy. Essentially, I tend to think of myself in terms of individual, non-unique traits, and struggle to see how I'm unique as an individual if each of my traits can be fulfilled by other people. It makes a whole lot more sense why my therapist would recommend gestalt therapy after learning about how gestalt theory applies to design.
Just a few more resources for beginners: - The Principle of Inclusiveness - The Law of Prägnanz - Psychophysical Isomorphism - The Principle of Contemporaneity - The Zeigarnik Effect These should be pretty useful to slingshot you into deeper studies.
I'm wondering is this some sort psychology theory that applies to design theory? As far as I know, when we talk about art & design what comes to my mind is Element & Principle of Design.. 😅
@@yusof843 Yes, the Gestalt school developed as a psychological theory about perception. There are therapeutic gestaltic psychologists too (not sure how it works there, I think it has to do with modifying behavior in part to affect the whole, or something like that). It was the first solid scientific description for these kind of phenomena, so it proved useful in visual arts and design, and it became part of the curricula for most related studies.
I'm studying for my MCAT & this is a concept that is slightly covered in one of the textbooks, but the lack of depth and explanation left me confused on some of the principles. This video was super helpful to me for understand the gestalt principles & how to apply them!! Thank you!
So when a young austrian man looked at a map of Europe in the 1920s he didn't see several independent sovereign states, he saw ONE BIG UNIFIED WHOLE. Got it.
Excellent explanation of Gestalt with clear visual examples. This video was a great supplement to classroom materials. Thank you for your efforts in creating the video and content.
Brilliant video. I use GESTALT as part of Coaching young people to be successful in their careers by seeing "The Big Picture" in workplace situations. What's great about your video is people generally are unaware of the forces impacting there behaviour in meetings etc, they just don't see them! Your video is in effect an Analogy because you reveal the hidden psychological "Forces" or more accurately "Subconscious Thought paths" that influence our perception of what we see. Our minds take the raw visual inputs and construct "The Big Picture". YOUR EFFORTS are much appreciated by an audience beyond designers!
We enjoyed this very well-condensed and elaborately explained lecture. We feel like 'Gestalt Theory' is one of the most complicated thought-organizing paradigms in Western thought, and having it in our bag of tricks is very helpful. We hope to watch more of yr videos in the future. :)
Wow Outstanding work...thank you. Beautifully structured , delivered and so simple as to hide the talent and effort behind your work. I am truly wowed!
Fun fact, the Starbucks siren isn't actually symmetrical. There are some small differences between left and right that I didn't learn about until I used to work there. But, I still get the concept and this was a very short and concise video but still incredibly informative
Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge - truly appreciated. Your explanation provided more depth than my university textbooks and lecturers - thank you.
Another valuable video man! I wish I could show this to college-freshman me, it would have jumpstarted my design knowledge. I'll certainly be sharing this one ^^
I learned this in architecture school, but as a musician I became interested in how this also applies to sound and music. My bass player tells me that I'm supposed to be playing certain notes, but when I go back to listen to the source music, the notes are not there and I figure his mind must be trying to fill in the gaps with notes that seem like they would be there but are actually not.
hey hi, I have a question. I hope you answer it when you see it "Can we say that anomally principle/law of anomally is same as von restorff effect/Isolation Effect?"..waiting for the reply.. Thanks
I don't think that's how the continuation principle is usually interpreted. The gap is usually the key element. It's about separated elements creating a line which you follow through and you fill the gaps in your mind. Like the underline in ProQuest is not seen as 2 lines, but 1. Or in generall, when we have Text, the bottom part of the text is aligned an therefore creates a line, that leads or eyes.
Solid point, but entirely subjective. Ultimately, it's about the line, regardless of whether you see the positive or the negative (the figure and ground you might say!). It's about how your eye moves through certain elements at the expense of others: the continuation of the perceived path.
Do you have any book recommendations that cover more examples and break downs of these principles? Not that it wasn’t clearly explained but to see more examples in the creative use of the principles to widen my vocabulary of the usage.
What would Gestalt Theory say about the effects of resolution factor on categorizing phenomena? If we zoom in on an object, how does our "naming" of what we see change? Is this change lawful/predictable? Also, as we zoom in on say a boundary, the less distinct it becomes until it eventually disappears. It is clear that science (and conscciousness) progress in a manner that increases in detail resolution. The new Webb Telescope, for example, is challenging astronomy's love affair with "dark matter" and "big bang" because of its higher detail resolution. It is also clear that the path from childhood to adulthood is largely characterizable by the effects of incorporating greater detail into one's world view. This action of detail incorporation can be traumatic when it kills off the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.
I don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but on the closure part (6:45) the last word "information" is missing a letter, in the same sentence where you speak about missing information. If it was on purpose then props to you man haha! Either way an amazing video, finally found the starting point for how do I understand why I like a logo or a design, why I like how they look and etc. Writing almost all of this down! You really helped me out here, thank you!
I did not say or imply that my experience watching your production was ruined, or in any way diminished. In fact, I appreciated the content very much. I just wanted to call your attention to the grammatical mistakes to make you aware of them, and make corrections as needed. Your presentation was very professional and clear, well done. Maybe , just maybe, you might have another person review your production before you post it; that's what a publisher of written material would do.j
Can we be born with some of these principals instinctively? I know I have always been able to see pass 2d drawing or pictures to visualize the figure in 3d but I have trouble memorizing words for spelling test. I know people who can memorize the spelling of words by looking at them for just a moment.
I learned this in college. And every job I've had since has been working for people who think I didn't learn anything in college. The best thing I've been told is "you don't need a degree to be a designer". And I usually bring up Gestalt. And inform them of my two degrees and twenty years of experience.
sir i am having a little trouble in the law of proximity in the example of the tree shape made by the human figure. i cant really understand how the law of proximity is applied there ? I'll be looking forward for an answer :)
I have also read about something known as the Law of Common Fate. Objects that move together are perceived to be together. Can you please explain that?

this was legit better than my college lecture :D

Yes !
Hhahahaa yes!!
lmaooo
I agree 100% far better than lecturers

Much love from a Psychology Student who has Gestalt Psychology in my first year of studies
Excellent explanation of Gestalt with clear visual examples. This video was a great supplement to classroom materials. Thank you for your efforts in creating the video and content.
For an autistic person who loves logos this is fantastic for me. This meets my visual learning style and makes it so easy to follow. Thank you
Awesome intro to gestalt. Surprised this hasn't received much love

Better than campus lecture, love it
I am doing an education course online and am clearly an auditory / visual learner, thanks for helping me through the section!
Happy to help!
We had to watch this as part of one of our modules in psychology. Easier to understand than crash course. Thanks!!
We enjoyed this very well-condensed and elaborately explained lecture. We feel like 'Gestalt Theory' is one of the most complicated thought-organizing paradigms in Western thought, and having it in our bag of tricks is very helpful. We hope to watch more of yr videos in the future. :)
I love your aseethetic, the way education should be
showing a little love!
well produced video. quick and easy to understand. keep it up!
A very nice job. I actually expected the video about gestalt therapy principles, but your video was so good that I actually enjoyed it.
Wow Outstanding work...thank you. Beautifully structured , delivered and so simple as to hide the talent and effort behind your work. I am truly wowed!
I loved this! So incredibly helpful! Thank you. This was so clear and the visual examples really locked everything in!
Glad I could help!
You just summarize a subject from my class. Thanks Sir
Fun fact, the Starbucks siren isn't actually symmetrical. There are some small differences between left and right that I didn't learn about until I used to work there. But, I still get the concept and this was a very short and concise video but still incredibly informative
Wow. I didn't even notice the peacock in the NBC logo. Well done Sir.
Hey! Just a heads up. Great video, thank you! I use it in my Basic Visual Design High School class! Cheers!
Wow, I was today years old when I realized the swoop under the Amazon logo isn't a weird half smiley face. Is that just me? 😂 Great info! Thank you!
It's a smile and an arrow!
Thank you so much! I got an A! Anything involving visual communication is helpful!!
Well done!
Thanks for the explanation.
😊
Great TUTorial, please make more these kind of theoretical videos
This is really great! Thank you for taking the time to make everything so clear and with excellent visual examples!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge - truly appreciated. Your explanation provided more depth than my university textbooks and lecturers - thank you.
Thank you I needed this to understand my class
The tutorial was excellent and simple to understand. Thanks
This video is very helpful. Love from India.
Glad it was helpful!
Another valuable video man! I wish I could show this to college-freshman me, it would have jumpstarted my design knowledge. I'll certainly be sharing this one ^^
Thankyou!
Thank you, I love that your audio is in ASMR
This video was very thorough and informative. I really enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Giving love! Thanks - clear, snappy, fascinating
Thank you for this! What do you make your vidoes with?
I’m on my senior year and I understood this more than my lecture..
I learned this in architecture school, but as a musician I became interested in how this also applies to sound and music. My bass player tells me that I'm supposed to be playing certain notes, but when I go back to listen to the source music, the notes are not there and I figure his mind must be trying to fill in the gaps with notes that seem like they would be there but are actually not.
I learned quite a bit thanks! But all ill remember is that NBC's logo is actually a peacock
Watched this video for my university entrance exam. It was so helpful!!!!
Happy to help!
VERY NICELY DONE :). THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. LOOKING FORWARD TO RESEARCHING MORE!
Happy to help
Thank you for making these! Keep going 👏
Some are saying this is better than a college lecture. Welp, I'll be using this as my lecture
Brilliant!
One of the best explanations ever!
Glad you think so!
thank you for illustrate clearly gastalt theory
best video understood with such simplicity thanks
This was very helpful, thank you!
More videos like these, please
Sure thing!
Thanks it helped a lot for my class 11th exam ❤.
We have roundabouts in the US mainly in the Northeast.
Excellent, thanks for sharing.
hey hi, I have a question. I hope you answer it when you see it "Can we say that anomally principle/law of anomally is same as von restorff effect/Isolation Effect?"..waiting for the reply.. Thanks
Thanks for making such a well laid out, visually interesting video to explain Gestalt! Understand far better than I had after reading about it.
unbelievably good

Awesome video TipTut! :D Thanks.
I have an exam on the 11th for Knowledge in International Communication Management so this helps.
Fantastic video!! Thank you so much!
TUTally easy to understand! Thank you for sharing!
I didn't get the typographical figure and ground example
God bless you brother!
Thank you so much for Sharing. Assisted me a lot and visually just amazing to look at!
Thenks a lot for this awesome video 😊 love from INDIA ❤️

Superbly explained. Great it is !

great video, took lots of notes.
Awesome! Thanks 😁
Can you please explain law of surroundedness by Gestalt psychology?
You just saved my life!! Thank you!
You're most welcome!
Great content, succinct, great presenting, thanks!
Happy to help!
This is Gold. Thank you!!!
You're very welcome!

You're obviously much cleverer than I am.
Your comment has a typo FYI.
Touche (and since that is a French word, I may have spelled it incorrectly!}
Brilliant video, thanks for the info
Very well explained! thanks
Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thankyou , great for my C.P.D in the summer holidays 🤗👍
Great video mate
Thankyou!

Really helpful thank s alot!
WELL EXPLAINED
Thank you! Great video!
No worries!
Could you say something about the connection between these principles and therapy or its application in counseling?
I'm afraid I'm in no way qualified to do that.
very nicely illustrated but the ads are put in the wrong places. They causes a lot of distraction.
UA-cam places those automatically, I haven't placed them myself.
never mind then
I have also read about something known as the Law of Common Fate.
Objects that move together are perceived to be together.
Can you please explain that?
It's basically proximity, direction and similarity but moving together :)
nice and clean video:D
Thanks!
Than you, great explanation...
How can I get the ppt file?
This is amazing! Thank you so much 🤍
No problem 😊
Thank you. This was really interesting helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
