OK\u00a0these are extreme examples of symmetry.\u00a0 You can have balance in an image without such an obvious left right mirroring, which is commonly called formal balance.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to recognize when there is imbalance<\/p>\n

\u00a0In this image notice how the kite and the person are in different quadrants of the image and provide an up\/down, left\/right\u00a0balance that makes the image more harmonious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here is another image where there is a left right balance without being completely symmetrical\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Using symmetry and balance can create images that are harmonious and visually quiet.\u00a0 Understanding it’s effect helps also when you want to break from it and create some discord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
