Figure/Ground Example:
In this example of ground, the viewer’s eye first focuses on the man in the foreground but can also move to the background city scape, which plays a secondary role in this picture. This differentiation is a key component of the figure/ground rule.
Proximity Example:
I chose this example of the African Beat logo (Originally a gif) as my example for proximity. While the lines and dots are separate, our minds can group them together to picture the outline of Africa.
Similarity Example:
I was not completely certain if this is a good example, but upon first glance, I categorized this image as an example of similarity. By using the rule of similarity, the patches of varying colours helps to differentiate the different sections of the hulk. Without these similar patches of colour, the set of triangles would tell much less of a story and could not convey the same message.
