For each of the four examples shown below, give the Gestalt principle it demonstrates.


Figure A has regular text and a hyperlink. The hyperlink is different in color and font type (underlined vs. not underlined). Thus the two groups are determined by similarity.
Figure B has two sets of text, one in the upper left corner and the other in the lower right. The organizing principle is proximity.
Figure C also has two sets of text, one at the top and one at the bottom of the page. Using distance to separate groups is the hallmark of proximity.
Figure D is using indentation to show alignment. Using alignment to impart organization falls under the Gestalt principle of continuity.
