Hi guys,
I'm doing an assignment for Uni on the 4 Gestalt principles (Proximity, Similarity, Closure, Continuity).
I've happily taken my one billion shots and proximity seemed to be the hardest. I have narrowed it down to two, and I'd like some opinion on the two shots - specifically on which one you think best portrays proximity in the composition.
Just a reminder -
Proximity is defined as when visual elements that are in close proximity tend to be grouped together and seen as figure (as opposed to ground).
Image 1 -
park bench and bin.
Image 2 -
palm trees.
And a
third I took as a 'just in case', although it's a bit of a stretch to fit it into my theme of 'parklife'. Any thoughts on that and proximity?
(sorry, would have just put the three up, but rules are rules)
I'm inclined to go with the park bench - the palm trees seems a bit - meh, but does it illustrate the point as one item of figure?
I look forward to what the rest of you think. (And sorry, this is my first uni assignment, so a little apprehensive about the entire thing, you know?)
Cheers
Jane
