This image was what I considered to be my best idea when working on this assignment. I had many trails of different ideas and designs, but this design in particular was my favorite. I started off with the K and the B being separate from each other. Gradually, the letters began to come together as one to form more of a Gestalt-like image.
In this image, I created an illusion of lips. This image was my final image which I turned into Dropbox and printed out. I love the gestalt that this image shows. The white letters bleed out on the edges. The black in this image stands out very strongly and basically helps form the shapes of the white letters. When creating this image I had to find a way to create the letters while also making the shape of lips. I curved my letters in a specific way in order to successfully create this image.DESIGN STAGES

Utilizing Gestalt:
I feel after working not his assignment that Gestalt is a great form of art. At first I had no idea what Gestalt even was. After my first couple of trails when working on Gestalt I became frustrated. Gestalt was hard in the sense that it really made you think critically about how you can use shapes and different illusions to create an image just by using letters. When I felt that a Gestalt image was complete, there was always more that I could be adding to it. I feel gestalt has opened up my creative mind and I see myself using it in the future on other projects. Gestalt has definitely taught me new ways of art and I could possibly use this professionally in the future.
Summary:
Gestalt was a difficult assignment but i definitely learned a lot of life skills from it. This assignment has helped open up my creative mind and learn to take risks and keep trying to better my work.
