UX UI Gestalt Principles


Proximity

Grouping

Within a UX design experience, having UI elements that are closely related, grouped together to clearly display different sections.


Similarity 

Consistency

Having UI elements that are related in action, for example, certain call-to-action buttons in one same hue, shape etc. 


Closure

Gaps 

Using less details or shapes on UI screens as the user is able to fill in the gaps. 


Continuity

Movement




Figure

Ground 

Having distinguished focal points on UI screens, within the background or foreground.


Common Region

Together 

Using for example shapes, that include details, that might not be necessarily be all together but similar to group.




Why are Gestalt Principles in UX UI important?


  • Prevent Cognitive Load

  • Improve Usability

  • Improve Scannability

  • Strengthen Visual Hierarchy

  • Enhance UI Structure

  • Enhance UI Organization

Conceptual Models?

The...behavior...layout defined by designers to explain how the system actually works. It includes information architecture, terminology, and interaction design.

1.

Mental Models?

The...expectations, and cognitive representations a user brings to a product. It's how they think it works, often influenced by prior, similar experiences.

Google AI

Alignment

Bridging the gap! Designers should research existing user mental models...to create a system that matches their intuition rather than forcing them to learn a new, unnatural model.

When the designer’s conceptual model aligns with the user's mental model, the interface feels RIGHT!

What to do?

UX Interviews

Statistics | 5 User Rule!

How many Users?

5 to 6 users, according to the research done by Jakob Nielsen, is can actually be 85% sufficient with understanding problems with usability.

However, this is not as simple as it seems. This is why..

Both are still important and the 80% should be considered as an opportunity to improve on user experiences. 


Both have similar rules which are equally important and required to make a great functional and aesthetical  product.
