        Introduction and purpose: Gestalt is defined as the psychological science of form and shape recognition, which appeared in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. This theory states that the human brain uses this method to understand complex subjects that are made up of various components. Summarize the components in the form of a single subject and obtain a general understanding of that subject at first. This theory is presented based on how the eye organizes visual experiences, which has had an impact in various fields of science, philosophy, and art. Method: In this research, which was carried out in a descriptive-analytical method, and its information was collected in a library manner, and its subject is within the scope of the author's professional experience and education, three posters by the artist Masoud Najabati, which are related to the subject In this research, appropriateness was selected and the written and visual information of the posters was studied based on the Gestalt theory. The present article, which has been made with the aim of familiarizing and the performance of each of these principles in art, specifically in poster design, has answered this question that the organization of text and image based on the above theory in the posters in question has visual characteristics. Findings: Gestalt perceptual rules are widely used in the graphic design of these posters, and this shows that the designer's mind was automatically and unconsciously involved in these perceptual rules when creating his work. Also, the results show that the graphic designers of the sample posters have consciously or unconsciously used each of the organizing principles of Gestalt rules of visual perception in the design and composition of the visual elements of the poster (image and text). Conclusion: The results of this research show that the organization in of similarity. The law of proximity, the law of the principle of overlap, the law of the principle of continuity, the law of the principle of integration, the law of the principle of common destiny can be studied and evaluated, and by applying these principles, the process of visual perception is formed.   Manuscript profile

        In contextualism, the evaluation and study of the system formation of the effect in the form of the whole ( surrounding context ) is paid attention. Because the correlation between architecture and surrounding context can be investigated in a given context, in a way which is being stand to the Cubism in terms of conceptually and principle of the form of the context (Gestalt) in terms of methodology. In such a way that connection between effect and its surrounding components are defined through continuous whole and maintaining personal characteristics, in the part to whole system. Contextual methodology can be defined in the form of mixing the effects and the context, as well as the implementation of the effects in productive structure and solution in it, because evaluation and using of it by a word like Gestalt is a factor between changing and constant components that has a special place in creating architectural effect. The components based on Chlipa design can be identified Based on and according to the design of Ferdowsi’s tomb, which was designed from adapting ancient samples and sprit of national nationalism of that time. Therefore, we analyze and describe the value-based documents by using written documents and primary conclusion and consider Chlipa design in the form of comparative argument with a question such as: “how can respond to decoding Chlipa pattern in Islamic Tombs such as Ferdowsi’s tomb through contextual methodology? It is possible to respond to the signs of this component in formation of Ferdowsi’s tomb in terms of contextualism.In contextualism, the evaluation and study of the system formation of the effect in the form of the whole (surrounding context) is paid attention.

        Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Gestalt visual principles on consumer perception in digital marketing. The research employed a descriptive survey method and had an applied purpose. It was conducted in 1402. The statistical population consisted of customers of the digital marketing department of Choob Sang industrial furniture manufacturing company. The sample size was 384, selected through simple random sampling based on Morgan's table. Data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire, and analysis was performed using SmartPls4 and SPSS software at descriptive and inferential levels.The findings of this research indicate that the gestalt of the digital marketing platform is effective in shaping consumers' visual perception through principles such as similarity, proximity, integration, continuity, appropriateness of role, and context. This effectiveness extends to all three components of the perception process: exposure, attention, and meaning creation, with meaning creation being the most influential component. The results suggest that incorporating Gestalt principles in design can optimize the digital marketing platform and enhance the effectiveness of visual elements in audience perception. This can be achieved by organizing visual content, creating graphic unity on pages, simplifying customer journey steps, increasing interaction, and ultimately improving consumer perception, visual ability, decision-making, and conversion rates in digital marketing. keywords: Gestalt, advertising effectiveness, consumer perception, digital marketing, visual perception Manuscript profile

        This study compared Logo therapy and Gestalt therapy in alleviating symptoms of aggression, depression and anxiety. For this purpose 90 students who referred to the student counseling center at the Islamic Azad University of Mahabad were randomly assigned to two experimental and one control group (n=30). The experimental groups received techniques of Gestalt and Logo therapies for 12 one hour sessions per week. Using the Symptoms CheckList-25-Revised (Najarian & Davoodi, 2001) test and diagnostic interview based on DSMIV-TR (2000) aggressive, depressed, and anxious students were evaluated before students received any treatment, at the end of treatment, and six month after the treatment was ended. No significant difference was found between the pre-test means of three groups. Both Gestalt and Logo therapies reduced symptoms of aggression, and anxiety. The reduction of symptoms was still observable at the follow up stage. Logo therapy and Gestalt therapy were not significantly different in treating anxiety and aggression; however Logo therapy was more effective than Gestalt therapy in treating depression.      Manuscript profile
