Balance
The principle of balance states that visual designs are more attractive when both sides feel equally weighted. Balance is most easily achieved with symmetry, a technique that uses mirror-like elements that are the same on opposite sides.Asymmetrical balance is an alternative to symmetry that is far more difficult to master. It relies on a composition of dissimilar elements as opposed to a simple mirroring effect.Overview: Asymmetrical Balance | ||
