This means placing the elements together to create an interesting effect, this effect prevents the visual experience from being monotonous. Contrast can be found in shapes and colors. Gestalt: The principles describe how the eyes perceive visual elements as a single art form and not separate elements. Some principles include: Similarity: Elements that are similar tend to be grouped together. Proximity: Elements that are close to each other can be grouped together. Closure: Elements that do not touch each other can be
