12. Asymmetrical balance is when you have two dissimilar sides of
a design and have positioned visual weight unequally, and yet
you’ve still achieved a sense of balance.
• Asymmetrical balance occurs when you have different
visual images on either side of a design, and yet the image
still seems balanced. To be considered asymmetrical, a
design needs to have unequal visual weight on either side,
but those unequal visuals need to balance each other.
