We don't make luxury cars we make Cadillacs
OK lets talk about some of the Gestalt principles, the first thing that I notice is the light, how it reflects off the top and side of the Cadillac. You can absolutely see a hip line on the car, my eyes start at the back of the car, then move forward to the huge grill, and stays on the legendary Cadillac symbol. This is an example of the law of continuity. The lines that run along side of the car, starting from the bottom moving up and over the wheel, then the hip line, even the bottom of the windows and the top, when it merges with the windshield, everything flows smoothly. Our eyes follow the path with the least resistance. Often people see "faces" in the front of the car, this is part of the law of closure. I always picture a very happy almost goofy face, with the over sized grill like a big pair of teeth and the headlights obviously big beautiful eyes. I think the light and the shade work together to help your eyes move from the back to the front, and the top down. This is a large and comfortable car, but the designer helps our mind and eyes see a fast sleek automobile.

A little bit about me
What is up people? I am new to this blog thing so I figure I will write about what I am interested in. Sports. That’s about it. Just kidding there are other things that I like too but I am mostly into sports, watching, playing and talking about sports. I also like going to movies, dances, and hanging out at the pool. I like card games and charades and trying to make people laugh. Anyway I am super excited about the NFL and how sweet that is going to be, with the NFL starting that means that baseball is almost over and that basketball will be starting soon. I love football and basketball season and baseball in October is OK. I am really glad that we were able to watch the Olympics this summer, because a summer with just baseball would have been horrible. OK then, we have talked about sports that I like to play or watch, let’s talk about the food network. I really like watching TV, I do not have a lot of time to watch it but that is one of my favorite past times. So the food network has some really cool shows, one of my favorites is The Iron Chef! I love when they reveal the secret ingredient and it is some really cool cut of beef or a crazy looking fish! I also like Chopped and Diners Drive INS and Dives, with Guy Firer. Obviously I like the food network because they are always cooking amazing food; I have still not met someone that does not like food. Other TV shows that I like are The office, parks and rec, 30 Rock, Community, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Modern Family, Tosh.0, ESPN obviously, The Game of Thrones, Workaholics, and that's about it, actually I am currently watching Cheers and The Dick Van Dyke show, these are older shows but they are still very funny. I will write more later! Oh I also like playing Movie Trivia, you tell me a quote from a movie and I tell you what movie it’s from. That was random but I think I would like to incorporate that in my blog.
