Gestalt principles: closure

I chose the closure principle that says we attach meaning to visual displays. I used Powerpoint and chose a shape that was copied 4 times and then put into a square like shape that made an illusion of a diamond. I took my finished product to Photoshop and cropped it to focus more on the shape. This was a fun activity and if given more time, many more examples could have been made. Also, taking a second look at my work, I felt I also covered the proximity principle that says we group things that are physically close to one another, in a meaningful way. When I look at this I also see a frame-like shape that my eyes naturally group the separate shapes together.
