Gestalt & Color

For my design, I chose to use the gestalt principles of continuity and proximity. The stars start in the upper left hand corner--where we naturally start to read--and then guide the eye down and to the right where the message is. Also, the stars begin larger and further apart, becoming smaller and closer together around the text. There is also closure in the design, as the stars around the words create one big star. I used Adobe's Kuler website to choose two colors which are complementary to each other--the yellow and the blue--and then set them on a dark background to make them stand out.
