  • Principle 2 (Continuation): The hed and dek leads the eye upward toward the visual, then to the text.
  • Principle 3 (Closure): I think this spread most heavily uses the Gestalt principle of closure. Although the visual is a collage of random face parts of different people, our eyes are able to close the gaps between the pieces and understand that it’s a complete face. The text container also fills the face, even though it’s completely different from the rest of the objects.
  • Principle 5 (Figure/Ground Relationship): Our eyes move through the page in a left to right motion.
