  2. Design principles - Wikipedia

    The top image has symmetrical balance and the bottom image has asymmetrical balance. Symmetry; Asymmetrical balance produces an informal balance that is attention attracting and dynamic. Radial balance is arranged around a central element. The elements placed in a radial balance seem to 'radiate' out from a central point in a circular fashion.

  3. Formal balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_balance

    Formal balance, also called symmetrical balance, is a concept of aesthetic composition involving equal weight and importance on both sides of a composition. [1] [2 ...

  4. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    This article describes symmetry from three perspectives: in mathematics, including geometry, the most familiar type of symmetry for many people; in science and nature; and in the arts, covering architecture, art, and music. The opposite of symmetry is asymmetry, which refers to the absence of symmetry.

  5. Composition (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(visual_arts)

    The prominent subject should be off-centre, unless a symmetrical or formal composition is desired, and can be balanced by smaller satellite elements The horizon line should not divide the art work in two equal parts but be positioned to emphasize either the sky or ground; showing more sky if painting is of clouds, sun rise/set, and more ground ...

    Symmetrical balance; Asymmetrical balance; Radial balance; Rule of thirds; Leading lines [1] Golden ratio; Framing (photography) Centered composition; Diagonal triangles; Rule of odds; Rule of space; Fill the Frame; Patterns; Textures; The composition techniques in photography are mere guidelines to help beginners capture eye-catching images.

  7. Visual weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_weight

    The visual weight and the balance of a figure inserted in an image can be determined using the lightness of the figure, the lightness of the ground and their sizes and positions interactions in the composition visual. We establish that an image is totally balanced when the resultant force is located in the geometric center of the image.

  8. Asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetry

    Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection). [1] Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in precise terms or in more aesthetic terms. [2]

  9. Axial symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_symmetry

    Axial symmetry is symmetry around an axis or line (geometry). An object is said to be axially symmetric if its appearance is unchanged if transformed around an axis. The main types of axial symmetry are reflection symmetry and rotational symmetry (including circular symmetry for plane figures). [ 1 ]
