Symmetrical Balance
A composition can be symmetrically or asymmetrically balanced. Imagine placing an imaginary line down the middle of a composition.
If the elements are of equal weight and value on either side we refer to this as symmetrically balanced. Usually when one or more elements are mirrored on either side we refer to this as a stable or more formal composition.
Asymmetrical Balance
When the imagery is not mirrored we can describe the composition as being dynamic or informal. If the elements are not mirrored this is referred to as asymmetrically balanced.
