This picture uses gestalt principles quite effectively. By positioning the title in big bold letters at the top left and lead down into the rest of the poster. It also appears that the designer of this poster used the Rule of Thirds, and utilized the Golden Mean Points. By positioning the title and the graphic on the Golden Mean Points they are much more effective in drawing the reader in. The graphic also assists in the gestalt. The ears of the rabbit point to the other side of the poster and leads the reader's eyes down the names of the authors.

i like this example a lot! i stumbled across this example very often searching around the internet for examples of gestalt and this particular one really works for exactly the reasons you stated especially the use of the Rule of Thirds. it being a duck rabbit is also a definite bonus :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is really creative the way the designer used the rabbits ears to underline the words. I also think he/she effectively used the rule of thirds by putting the rabbit's head to the right of the poster instead of the middle. If the rabbit was placed in the middle, it would not have been visually appealing and it wouldn't highlight the words as much.
