Understanding Visual Balance in Design

• The principles of design work together to provide a final solution in terms of visual balance.
• There are three main types of balance- symmetrical, bilateral, and radial.
• Formal balance is achieved when elements are repeated in a symmetrical manner, while asymmetrical balance is achieved with dissimilar objects that have equal visual weight.
• Balance by value and color is achieved through the use of light and dark values, while balance by position is focused on the center of the composition.
