THE EQUILIBRIUM ISN'T PRESENT THE VIEWER SENSES COMPOSITION AS UNBALANCED.

SHAPES ARE REPEATED ON EITHER SIDE OF A CENTRAL VERTICAL AXIS, MIRRORING ONE ANOTHER.

BALANCE IS ACHIEVED WITH DISSIMILAR OBJECTS THAT HAVE EQUAL VISUAL WEIGHT ON EACH SIDE OF THE VERTICAL AXIS.

USING A SMALL AREA OF BRIGHT COLOR TO BALANCE A MUCH LARGER AREA IF A DULLER MORE NEUTRAL COLOR COMBINES COMOOSITION.

A SMALLER AMOUNT OF CONTRASTING VALUES ARE NEEDED TO BALANCE LARGER AMOUNTS OF BLENDING VALUES.

SMALLER AND MORE COMPLICATED SHAPES BALANCE A LARGER, SIMPLER SHAPE.

A SMALLER, ROUGH-TEXTURED SHAPE BALANCES A LARGER, BASICALLY SMOOTH TEXTURED SHAPE.

A LARGE SHAPE PLACED CLOSER TO THE CENTER CAN BE BALANCED BY A SMALLER SHAPE PLACED CLOSER TO THE EDGE OF THE ARTWORK.

A LARGE OBJECT CAN BE BALANCED BY SEVERAL SMALL OBJECTS.

COMPONENTS RADIATE OUT FROM A COMMON CENTRAL POINT.
