Gestalt Principles

Gestalt Principle: Continuity
People tend to interpret line and contours whenever the visual elements of an image establish a direction. This explains “movement” in an image, since the eye continues in the direction that has been established. The viewer follows a larger uninterrupted form composed of smaller separate forms. People tend to mentally form a continuous line.
