The Principles of Visual Organization

The principles of visual organization are rules that help our brains interpret and make sense of visual information. They include concepts like proximity (things close together are grouped), similarity (items that look alike are seen as related), continuation (the eye follows lines or curves), closure (our mind fills in missing parts to see complete shapes), and figure-ground (distinguishing the main subject from the background). These principles guide how we perceive complex images, making them easier to understand and navigate by organizing visual elements into coherent, meaningful patterns.
