Asymmetrical Balance

Design Principles

Balance
- Symmetrical balance: Elements are positioned equally around a central point.
- Asymmetrical balance: Elements are positioned unevenly, but still create visual equilibrium.
- Radial balance: Balance is achieved through a circular arrangement of elements.
Contrast
- Visual difference between elements (e.g., color, size, shape).
Emphasis
- Highlights a focal point.
Movement
- Compositional movement: Leading the eye with design elements.
- Static movement: The eye moves randomly across the composition.
- Dynamic movement: Guiding the eye along a predetermined path within a composition.
Repetition & Rhythm
- Using repeated elements to create a sense of space and movement in the design.
Unity
- Combining elements to create a harmonious and unified composition, using choice of medium and elements to ensure the design is coherent.
Proportion & Scale
- The relationship between sizes of individual elements and spaces in the composition.
Pattern
- Repeating motifs such as images, sounds, words, or symbols to create a design.
