Dear Richard,
A very good book that seeks to apply Gestalt theory to design is Colin Ware, Visual Thinking for Design, 2008.
Best regards,

Subject: Gibson and affordances
Dear Ph.D listers:
I am currently looking into Gibson΄s theory of perception after having looked into Gestalt theory. I can see lots of examples of how Gestalt theory can be applied to design. For Gibson the matter is less clear if one is concerned not with physical affordances (handles, buttons, levers). The optical examples usually listed are the converging ladder, the compessed lines and the way proximity to the horizon affects how we perceive size.
Can anyone point to a paper or article etc where the design consequence for 3D objects are outlined? Why does an industrial designer need to worry about converging ladders etc in the way the Gestalt Laws such as
Pragnanz and proximity matter?
Regards,
Richard
