Balance is an equal distribution of weight.
Visual weight can be defined as creating the illusion of physical on a two- dimensional surface.
There are two approaches
to the arrangement of elements in a design.
Symmetry is always balanced like a mirror image. Assymmetry is a
dissimilar or unequal arrangement.
The arrangement of
all the elements - the design or composition of
everything in relation to one another - is crucial to achieving symmetrical
or assymetrical balance.
