Being a good designer requires a fundamental [basic] understanding of psychology. Who knew? Things to ponder. *thumbs up* indeed

[guylaineregimbald]

Love that you explored this topic which is lost these days. Thanks for the recap.

You seem very knowledgeable. Thank you!

[zohaibmalik]

Beautiful and awesome tutorial. You have great knowledge and thanks for sharing with us!

[amypaige]

Great information! Thanks MArtin for sharing your wisdom

[evaczekus]

Very clever, sophisticated and understandable even for outsiders👍

[alenapolyarush]

It's pronounced geshtalt and every time I have a little tik hahah but I love your classes

[friendfortheartists]

You made something simple too complicated. Perhaps this theory works for very advanced artists who have the 7 elements of design and the 8 principles of design memorized, practiced and applied successfully.
