asymmetrical / symmetrical balance - 2 great examples!

1) asymmetrical balance : Juno Movie Poster

This Juno Movie Poster is a great example of asymmetrical balance because while the images are on the left and most of the text is on the right, there is still a lot of balance in this piece. I also like how her belly is in the center and the use of green text help make this piece flow very well. If she were turned with her belly facing the other direction, then I don't think this would work as well!





2) symmetrical balance : Cartoon image

This cartoon image is a solid example of symmetrical balance because all 3 cartoonish figures are evenly weighted! One could easily fold this page in half. Each character has two arms, two eyes, and a single heart that ties them together in one equally balanced composition.

  1. Jonathan, I love the cartoon and I agree that it has symmetrical balance. The designer did a great job using the three characters to balance the design, also I feel that the black and white background behind the characters add to the symmetrical balance.
