Principles of Design -- Asymmetrical Balance

What is Asymmetrical Balance ?

A composition that may seem symmetrical, but is really off-centre due to the elements within it. The composition may be thrown-off by different shapes, difference in the sizes of elements, and more.



At the first-glance, this image may seem symmetrical. It is the difference between each wall that makes this image asymmetrical.


This image displays asymmetrical balance due to the different number of stones on each side.



This image also seems symmetrical, but it is the collection of branches on the tree in the right-hand corner that throws it off.
