Gestalt
Gestalt images are a unique form of artwork that take advantage of the way the human brain recognizes and processes what the eyes actually "see." They almost always consist of smaller shapes that are arranged into a specific pattern, which in turn forms a larger shape or form that the eye recognizes.

Nature-Inspired Design
Design can come from multiple sources of inspiration. This treehouse design comes most likely from a cocoon on a tree branch. The curved design of the construction resembles that of something organic, like a pod.

What is design?
There are many critical components of design. One cannot simply describe what design is in a single phrase as in the dictionary. Real design can be considered as a form of art, with a certain aesthetic that the designer wishes to convey. For example, these watches use a specific symmetry of colors and shapes, as well as unique types of indicators to display the time. The form of the hands in these watches are quite diverse, but they all have the exact same function. Despite this functional similarity, each watch has a uniquely different aesthetic to its design.
