- Gestalt is a German word meaning “essence or shape of an entity’s complete form”
- Humans see the overall shape and colour before the details
- For example, a stone mansion cut the material to the shape that they want before adding the details
- Google “gestalt pictures” for examples
- In practice, this means that you should look at the overall shape (structure, silhouette)
- Remember, until you change the structure the page will always look the same
