Gestalt is a German word meaning "form" or "shape." It is essentially associated with the saying "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." The components of Gestalt are Similarity, Figure Ground, Proximity, Continuity, and Closure, which I paired with an image and icon representation. I chose a retro music representation, because music follows the Gestalt theory. Each instrument comes together as a harmony and melody to form a whole composition.
