This PowerPoint presentation discusses different types of balance that can be used in design, including symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance. Symmetrical balance involves having mirror images on both sides of a central line. Asymmetrical balance uses different sized or positioned objects to create a balanced feel. Radial balance involves elements radiating out from a central point. The presentation provides examples and tips for when each type of balance would be most effective.

3. Now it’s time to get serious Seriously

4. Symmetrical Balance Mirror image balance If a line is drawn down the center, it the two sides will be similar Sometimes they are completely identical Commonly used for architecture and butterflies Don’t use if it will make the scene seem unnatural or forced.

5. Asymmetrical Balance Several small objects are balanced by one LARGE OBJECT! OR! Smaller objects are further away from the center of the screen than LARGE OBJECTS! OR! ONE DARK ITEM IS PLACED TO BALANCE OUT LIGHTER ITEMS! More difficult, even though it may seem less planned and more random.

6. ASYMMETRICAL CONT! Try to use it subtlely

7. RADIAL BALANCE All elements radiate from the center. It’s very easy to maintain a focal point in radial balance. Could be useful for abstract art
