Hello,

1. Increases Content Clarity
2. More Interactive
3. Ability to Highlight CTAs
4. A Clean site equals to Impressive site
5. Creates more balance of the elements in your site
6. Also, it acts as a separator in between components

Some Laws of gestalt:
A) LAW OF PRÄGNANZ
B) CLOSURE
C) SYMMETRY AND ORDER
D) FIGURE/GROUND
E) UNIFORM CONNECTEDNESS
F) COMMON REGIONS
G) PROXIMITY

Gestalt principles are important to understand as they set the foundation of everything that designers do visually.

They describe how everyone visually perceives objects.

Hope this Helps! 🙂
