Presentation transcript:

BALANCE Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, & Radial

HOW IS VISUAL WEIGHT INFLUENCED? Position - the further out an element is from the center, the heavier it will feel; a large object placed near the center can be balanced by a smaller object placed near the edge Size - larger feels heavier Texture - an element with more complex texture is heavier visually than one with a simple texture or no texture at all

HOW IS VISUAL WEIGHT INFLUENCED? Isolation - an isolated element has more visual weight Value - darker feels heavier Value contrast - the higher the value-contrast, the heavier the weight Quantity - multiple small objects can balance one larger object

HOW IS VISUAL WEIGHT INFLUENCED? Orientation - a diagonal orientation carries more visual weight than a horizontal or vertical one Shape - elements that have more complex shapes feel heavier than those with simple shapes Color - the brighter and more intense its color, the heavier the element will feel

SYMMETRICAL BALANCE In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are similar (or sometimes like a mirror image) to those on the other side. In symmetrical balance, the elements (line, shape, texture, form, color, etc.) used on one side of the design are similar (or sometimes like a mirror image) to those on the other side. It may also be referred to as formal balance. For the most basic example of symmetry, think of your eyes in relation to either side of your nose.

SYMMETRICAL BALANCE

STRENGTHS OF SYMMETRICAL BALANCE Achieves Equilibrium No part of the composition calls too much attention to itself Increases unity Can have great appeal Many people automatically gravitate to symmetry. Look around at consumer products and graphics (printed materials) to see how many use symmetry. You will find that it is the dominant organizational concept.

WEAKNESSES OF SYMMETRICAL BALANCE Can be predictable Can be predictable Can lack interest Can lack interest Can lack focal point Can lack focal point Can lack variety Can lack variety Can be boring Can be boring

ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE In asymmetrical balance, also known as informal balance, the elements ( are different on either side but still appear balanced.

RADIAL BALANCE Radial balance occurs when all the elements radiate out from a central point and the visual weight is distributed equally. Radial balance creates a strong focal point in the center of the design.
