Balance can be created in an image in many ways. You can use colors, shapes, lines or objects to create the presence of balance. You can even leave a large open space of color to count as a visual weight. The images pictured here have used shapes and lines to create balance. The first image used fruit stacked evenly to create symmetrical balance. The second used heart-shaped designs arranged in a circle to create radial balance. If you could add a different background or other items to these images, how could you change them to represent asymmetrical balance?
To change the first image representing symmetrical balance to asymmetrical balance, you could remove the even stacking of fruit and instead arrange them in a more random or irregular pattern. For example, you could scatter the fruit across the background, allowing them to overlap or have different sizes and orientations. Additionally, you could introduce other objects or elements, such as a plate or a glass, placed off-center and in a visually weighted position to create imbalance.
In the second image representing radial balance, you could add a different background that is not evenly distributed or symmetrical. For instance, you could have a textured or patterned background that is more concentrated on one side, creating an imbalance. Additionally, you could place other objects or shapes on one side of the circle in a visually weighted manner, while leaving the other side more empty or with minimal elements.
By adjusting the placement, size, orientation, and visual weight of elements and incorporating an uneven or unbalanced background, you can achieve asymmetrical balance in these images.
