An effective web design captures the attention of the audience with seemingly zero effort. For this, designers usually rely on human psychology and apply it to web designing. This article includes Gestalt Psychology and its uses in web design. We will look at some other design techniques that use color theory, typefaces and more. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is web design psychology?\u00a0<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The process of creating a good web design using psychological techniques can be termed as web design psychology. Using psychological principles in web design increases its effectiveness. You can lead the users to reach your desired goals using certain design techniques that are based on psychological theories like Gestalt principles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Gestalt Psychology?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gestalt psychology is a school of psychological thought which was started in the 1920s by German psychologists. At its core, they believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the most basic sense, what Gestalt psychologists propose is that the mind perceives the whole and not its parts. For example, if you look at the following logo, you are looking at the image of a peacock and not merely a group of shapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NBC<\/a>
NBC logo is a great example of Gestalt principle at work in web design.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even certain forms of arts depend heavily on these principles of visual perception. For example, dot painting is a technique in which you paint simple dots in a calculated distance from each other to create a shape. It is the proximity of these dots that make us perceive the shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In web design, techniques based on Gestalt principles can be applied to elicit the desired response from the users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at these principles and see how they apply to web design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gestalt Principles in Web Design <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Similarity <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the law of similarity, we tend to group together certain elements, sections, text, images that share the same characteristics such as color, texture, size or shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if a certain shade of yellow is used for a warning message, the reader immediately assumes that yellow text is a warning message\/ alert message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use a particular color for indicating products or services that are available at a discount, wherever that color is used on the page, it is easier to recognize the product or service as discounted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In<\/a>

In this image you can see that there are four services that have a discount. The red color makes the section stand out and be grouped together even before you read the text \u201c50% off\u201d.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Proximity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The law of proximity states that the objects that are close to each other are assumed to be of the same group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you place a bunch of different elements together it is perceived to be part of the same group, separate from other sections. Designers use this technique to differentiate between different products on a page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In<\/a>

In this screenshot, you can see how proximity is used to create different sections in the content. The \u201824\/7 Priority Support\u2019 section is separated from the \u2018Wide range of services\u2019 section because all elements of that group are kept close together. These elements include icon, section heading and the body.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Symmetry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The human mind always seeks symmetry and pattern in whatever it sees. The law of symmetry is used to convey a proper order.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even asymmetrical designs can be manipulated to appear symmetrical for a refreshing look. The idea is to bring a coherent balance to the appearance of the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\nIn<\/a>

In the image of the triangles, symmetry is created by reflecting the same proportions. Placing the image on left and text on the right creates a visual balance as well.<\/em>
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Closure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The principle of closure works a lot like the principle of proximity. With the help of this law you can create any shape you want by placing different shapes to form a specific pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, the human mind seeks out patterns. Because of this, even a bunch of random shapes will be perceived as a specific pattern if created with such an intention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In<\/a>
In this logo, we see the lines coming together to form the letters I, B and M. Our pattern seeking mind completes the letters because of the law of closure.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Continuity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Continuity is created because we tend to follow lines and curves. The painted divisions on roads is a good example of this. Instead of perceiving the pattern as a broken line, we perceive it as a continuous line that separates the traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuity makes it easy for designers to guide the visitors to specific sections of the page. Since, this law relies on our tendency to look for a flow, it can be used in flow charts or such instructional content where the user needs to be guided through to a specific end goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In<\/a>
In the above image, because of the law of continuity, the broken line in the middle of the road is perceived as a continuous line.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Figure and Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this illusion, we assume that the larger area of the image is the \u2018background\u2019 (thus the word \u2018ground\u2019 ) and the smaller area is the \u2018figure\u2019. The contrast of the elements can also influence the way we perceive the figure and ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law can be applied to web design to create elements that stand out when you want them to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In<\/a>
In this image, we can see two faces looking at each other as well as a vase in the middle. This is the effect of Figure-Ground law at work! <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Design to entice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Principles of psychology play an important role in maximizing the outcome of a website design. Incorporating the above mentioned Gestalt principles will help you deliver the desired perceptual experience for your users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get the most optimal results for your web design, learn more about Gestalt principles<\/a> and put the theory to practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
