Uniform Connectedness
Uniform connectedness is often used to group or connect elements in a design.
It emphasizes that when connected to one another by “uniform visual properties”, elements are recognized as being in a group. Thus, these elements are perceived as being more related then others elements that are not connected.
Common regions and connecting lines are the two methods to accomplishing this connectedness in a design. When elements are grouped within a region by coming together and connecting a visual area it is by method of common regions. Common regions are therefore, most effectively applied to group text elements and collections of control elements. However, if connected elements are grouped due to an explicit line joining the elements then this is the method of connecting lines. Consequently, this method is often used when to group individual elements and imply sequence.
Uniform connectedness can be an effective solution to correcting poorly designed control and display configurations. This is due to the fact that it overpowers the other Gestalt principles and therefore its use may conceal and correct poor design choices.
Closure
Closure is one of the Gestalt principles of perception in which people perceives individual elements as a pattern rather than multiple individual elements. It is so, that the human eye will fill empty spaces and close certain gaps to complete the pattern.
Closure occurs when elements approximate to each other. This principal helps designers to reduce complexity, organize, and communicate information. Using closure, designers can engage the viewers into the design by minimizing certain elements that can be filled up by the viewers.
Good Continuation
a Gestalt principle of organization holding that there is an innate tendency to perceive a line as continuing its established direction.
Good continuation is important in the design of tables, especially in the alignment of columns. Readers should not look down a column to see the good continuation broken by a rule line that is intended to frame a subheading. Inexperienced document designers sometimes position subheadings in a centered position over the columns and then bound the subheads with horizontal rule lines above and below them. When designed in this way, the horizontal lines may interfere with the reader's ability to connect the column headings with the data. In effect, this strategy carves up the content into parts which are marked by the rule lines.
