Laws of Uniform Connectedness
The Law of Connectedness in design is designed to caters for that fact that elements which visually connected are perceived as belonging to the same group or category. Through alliances on shared visual attributes like color, shape or alignment, designers’ visual directories become the structure that organizes information, as well as the beacons that attract viewers’ attentions. This design principle supports people to learn the composition of the interface, get the groupings and categories easily thereby enhancing the overall approachability and usability.
Laws of Proximity, Uniform Connectedness, and Continuation
Fundamental principles of design stem from the fact that as human beings we have evolved to make sense of visual data and information around us. The principles that are exemplified in this theory comprise Proximity Laws, Uniformity Laws, and Continuity Laws which are all applied in Gestalt psychology. Proximity directs us to see objects within a short range as associative, and thus belonging together which is helpful in organizing information.
Uniformity in visual relation is achieved by intentionally tying in some of the elements through sharing attributes, whereas Linearity approaches are meant to suggest the flow of information through visual paths or lines. This post goes deeper into these laws with an explanation of their applications, benefits, limits, and illustrations from real life to allow designers to exploit the laws’ potential and develop appealing images.
