There are many ways to illustrate that things belong together or are related to each other. They are commonly known as “gestalt principles” (top) What happens when you ignore them all? You get a UI that is absolutely undecipherable (bottom). Just one hot mess of everything with no indication what applies to what. Sometimes minimalism can be too much. #Gestalt #Minimalism #Sapling #Meta
