Balance:
the Visual equilibrium between parts of a composition. Visual balance cannot be measured and is a component that is felt. Each part in composition has a certain "visual weight" - bright colors typically appear lighter in weight than dark colors
Types of Balance
Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, & Radial
Symmetrical (aka "Formal") Balance:
Visual elements are the same on both sides
Asymmetrical (aka "informal") balance:
the sides are different but still look balanced.
Radial Balance
the elements are arranged around a centralpoint and may be similar.
