  The gestalt principle of continuation is the tendency of the human eye to follow a continuous path be it lines, curves, or intersections until it encounters another path or intersection. For example in the fifth illustration, It shows a continuity of four squares in each 4 rows that keep moving down so that it can still continue further below. The gestalt principle of similarity says that elements that are similar are perceived to be more related than elements that are dissimilar. Similarity helps us organize objects by their relatedness to other objects within a group and can be affected by the attributes of color, size, shape and orientation.

In type design, I have learned how to make letters into different fonts using adobe InDesign. We also looked at five different fonts such as Garamond, Baskerville, Bodoni, slab serif, and sans serif. We also learned about the history of enlightenment fonts and how we can use that history into the work at InDesign. We have also learned how to do our own presentations on different types on fonts and their history. This project relies on different people and different brands to this day. We also explained the owners of the fonts and what they have accomplished during their careers. Last semester was very good because we have learned how to design fonts via adobe InDesign and how to learn their history from the owners and brands to this day. This make type design an important subject last semester.
