Principles Of Design *** Assymetrical Balance

Assymetrical balance is when a picture seems balanced but when you divide the page/image in half, both sides are different but the denseness and the multiple objects can balance each other out.

This picture above shows assymetrical balance. Ichose this picture because at first glance it looks like it is symmetrical but a closer look tells you that there are significant differences in the image. For example, at the bottom, one side has an avatar while the other has some deadly creature.

The waterfall shows asymmetrical balance because both sides are balanced out, one side has more waterfalls while the other side has thicker waterfalls.
