Gestalt Theory: The Law of Pragnanz group presentation

Bette Pauling: 

Simply put, it means “good form”, it demonstrates that humans tend to organize shapes to simple forms. This means figures are seen as their simple elements instead of complicated shapes. 

This means images that are ambiguous and complex, are interpreted as simple shapes by humans. 

Pragnanz:

is symmetrical 
contains the simplest shapes possible
contains the fewest number of shapes 

An example of this is, emoticons.

We simplify these shapes and it is only with the other elements of Gestalt that we are able to recognize the face that is made from these simple shapes.

Kassi Gillette:

Pragnanz Exhibit/display: Reality is organized or reduced to the simplest form possible.

From this photograph of the artwork exhibit on display we quickly see two triangles and a square in between. When we actually examine it, there are many different shapes, textures, designs that are more complicated than what initially meets the eye. 

Allie Macier:

Using the domain of identity, this logo for Foodmobile cleverly plays on the law of pragnanz to represent itself and its purpose. 

Identity

At first the eye identifies the simplest shape used here, which would be a car. Following that, the eye is able to pick out the individual pieces of food that are grouped together to create the car.
