It's easier to explore visual content on a Sway. Click the card below to see all the information in the article, but as a Sway with images, tables, score cards and word clouds and the video in a responsive format to the device you use - in theory :)
I'm practicing, this is a draft.
Image to Discuss
The rectangular frame is a third longer along its horizontal border, than its shorter vertical edge. As orientation, up and to the right is positive. The background is dark gray.
The page focuses on a central shape of a rectangle with a keyword phrase inside.
Keyword Phrase: Law of Common Region.
Ten lines radiate from the perimeter of the rectangle. The image begins in the centre and splays across the entire frame.
Moving around the rectangle, from the top-right down and around, subtopics appear at the tip end of each new line and each subtopic is surrounded by ideas to expand on it.
The list of ten subtopics and idea as expansions is:
- Elements sharing space connectedness, our brains assume a break in an object is irrelevant and fills it in for us. We want it so badly we make it up, four exclamation marks. AKA, colon, we make stuff up based on our assumptions, exclamation mark. Wow. Dotted the circumference of a circle beside the word assume.
- Perception, Elements sharing space and perception, two parenthesis connecting ideas on either side of text.
- Defined boundaries, In what sense dash information architecture.
- Adding a border slash background color, outlined in a border. Chunking, blocking, highlighting, underlining, crossing out, bolding, italicizing, linking, in a list.
- Patterns, is this limited to visual elements, question mark. Dash rhythm, dash color, dash vibrations, dash smell, dash taste, dash touch.
- Gestalt, Guiding Principles.
- Similarity, breeds familiarity.
- Proximity, emergence, Hexagon, where simple shapes together create complex objects.
- Continuity, as simple as possible.
- Closure, assumptions, three exclamation points, Underline beneath closure.
Decorations within the rectangle, text is over two lines, top and bottom, top line text is law of, bottom line text is common region. The R in region is the height of the two lines, all other letters are similar size, capital block letters.
Image as a Table
The image I discuss in the video is of a keyword phrase, ten subtopics and ideas to expand on each one.
It presents here as a table of Keyword Phrase, Subtopic and Expansion.
This table has three columns and two major rows.
The first major row is titles for each column.
In sequence from left to right the four column titles are: Keyword Phrase, Subtopic, Expansion.
The other major row represents the keyword phrase, while ten minor rows list ten subtopics to it.
The keyword phrase is Law of Common Region.
The ten minor rows in descending order of appearance, the list of ten subtopics is: Elements sharing space connectedness, Perception, Defined boundaries, Adding a border slash background color, Patterns, Gestalt, similarity, Proximity, Continuity, Closure.

Transcript Text
Hi, UX designers, this is Hilary, Hilary Cluett. And welcome to Video 47. Today is Tuesday, the 16th of February and this is the second round around the bubble of the law of UX. What is it the law of common region? Okay, ding, ding, we're gonna do it. Yesterday, I struggled with the word closure, and to understand what closure means, in this context, the context of the guiding principles of Gestalt. So I looked it up a little bit, just so I had some context, right, so closure, it's all about assumptions. I couldn't believe it. So our brains assume a break in an object, much like this little dotted. circumference, circular circumference, I have your brain wants to fill it in and just make it a circle, you know. So a breaking an object, our brains assume a break in an object is irrelevant and fills it in for us, aka, also known as we make stuff up, based on our own assumptions. Wow, I couldn't believe it. We want so badly. To have this connectedness and to experience this connectedness that our brains just make it up. Elements sharing space, and this perception of elements sharing space, you know, do we even know if what we're seeing is really, that I couldn't believe it, that that's what closure means. And so closure, continuity, proximity, and similarity are all part of these guiding principles for Gestalt, right. And so the continuity aspect of it while closure is about these assumptions that our brain just makes to fill in gaps. Continuity means keeping it as simple as possible. And that's we just like that. Proximity is also known as emergence. emergence, where simple shapes together create complex objects. So this is also like similarity breeds familiarity. So this emergence thing I was thinking about it, and with all the Bumble stuff in the news. Oh, hive, like a hexagon, right? hexagon makes up little beehive makes a hive, like a simple shape and makes a complex object, right. Okay, so Gestalt guiding principles. It's all about this patterns. And like, as humans, we really like patterns. And then I'm thinking, is this limited? Are patterns only limited to visual elements? No, because we can recognize rhythm, right? tones, color, vibrations, smell, taste, touch. How do we recognize patterns in touch and vibrations, and then the adding a border and background color? got me thinking of like chunking, right, like chunking is an information architecture term, chunking. Blocking, highlighting, underlining, crossing out, bolding, italicizing, and linking those are all really fun ways that I came up with. And I don't know if those are all actually to do with the common region. I think they might be some techniques to use to define these boundaries. But I really would have to ask and clarify in what sense are these boundaries being defined because my brain immediately goes to systems and information architecture, which may be too deep of a scope, right as UX designer, maybe it's clearly defining what boundaries you're even trying to set in the first place. Maybe that's this common region, because it just seems like we make it up anyways. So as simple as it can be as repeatable as it can be. That may help. Okay, that was the law of common region. That was really fun. So many questions. If you have comments, leave them in the comment section below. And I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
Keyword Frequency Table and Context
The keywords I mention in the video present here as a table of use count, keyword and context. This table has three columns and twenty-one major rows.
The first major row is titles for each column. In sequence, from the left-to-right, the three column titles are: Use Count, Keyword, Context.
The other twenty major rows represent the keywords used, each keyword has a corresponding count to its left and context to its right.
If the same keyword occurs during the presentation with different context, then the semi-colon punctuates this distinction, to delineate multiple contexts within one line of the table.
The twenty keywords on the list are: Hive, Boundaries, Vibrations, Assumptions, Emergence, Object, Gestalt, Brain, Patterns, Continuity, Simple, Similarity, Guiding Principles, Region, Fill, Proximity, Closure, Define, Ux Designer, Chunking.
Tables, images, and alt text are all available on the Sway. It can open on any device. To view a table to list the keywords from the audio file, frequency of use, and context please open the Sway.
Word Cloud Image
Otter.ai generates this word cloud automatically when transcribing audio files to tangible text. Then I snap a screenshot of it on my iPad.
The rectangular frame is a third longer along its horizontal border, than its shorter vertical edge. For orientation, up and to the right is positive. The background is dark blue.
Twenty words appear in various orientations and sizes across a rectangular frame. From the top left-side to the bottom the following twenty words appear: Hive, Boundaries, Vibrations, Assumptions, Emergence, Object, Gestalt, Brain, Patterns, Continuity, Simple, Similarity, Guiding Principles, Region, Fill, Proximity, Closure, Define, Ux Designer, Chunking.
This is the same image from the title card of the YouTube Video except this image is branded by otter.ai with a dark navy-blue background with lighter blue, pink, green, purple, and grey writing to form the word cloud, where each word is written in varied sizes and orientation.
