Wk4 reading (Skaalid)

Skaalid, Bonnie. Gestalt Principles of Perception. Available online at: http://www.usask.ca/education/coursework/skaalid/theory/gestalt/gestalt.htm; Human-Computer Interface Design. Available online at: http://www.usask.ca/education/coursework/skaalid/theory/interface.htm.

Gestalt :: How glad am I to see some more philosophy come out in our classes!
Much of this discussion of Gestalt focuses on lessons you might find in a 2D art class. This is the first thing all art students go through, from what I hear. These basic concepts of perception shape our visual understanding, and I suppose metaphorically the rest of our perception.

HCI :: This article might be well suited as a checklist. However, a checklist is used afterward... so perhaps a better term might be guideline. IO (industrial organizational) Psychology is basicly the radical notion that people aren't mind readers, or rather wireless binary readers.

Here is a link to my Four Elements of Web Design page I wrote in high school. I think it's still pretty true.
