Question

The _________principle dictates that a complete outline is not necessary to convey the same message as a partial outline.

• A. Proximity
• B. Closure
• C. Continuity
• D. Symmetry

Hint:

Closure principle helps viewers mentally complete incomplete shapes or patterns.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The Closure principle is one of the Gestalt principles of visual perception. It states that the human brain tends to fill in gaps in incomplete shapes or outlines to perceive a complete image or message.
This means:

Even if part of an outline is missing, the mind perceives the whole shape.
Designers use this principle to create visuals that engage the viewer’s imagination.
It helps in simplifying complex images while maintaining clarity.

Explanation of Other Options:

(A) Proximity: Objects close to each other are perceived as a group.
(C) Continuity: The eye follows continuous lines or patterns.
(D) Symmetry: Balanced and mirrored arrangement of elements.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (B).
