Balance

Symmetrical balance is a type of balance in which both sides of a composition are mirrored or repeated in a way that creates equal visual weight. Visual weight is where you imagine that shapes which are larger or more filled in are heavier and shapes which are thinner or lighter in colour are less heavy. This type of balance is also called formal and  creates a sense of stability and order. 

Bilateral balance is a type of symmetrical balance in which the elements in a composition are arranged equally on both sides of a central axis, such as a vertical or horizontal line. The two sides of the composition are mirror images of each other, and this creates a sense of harmony and balance in the overall design. Bilateral symmetry can be found in nature, such as in the wings of a butterfly or the human face, and is also commonly used in art and design to create a sense of order and stability. 

Radial Balance can be achieved by by arranging elements equally around a central point , resulting in radial symmetry. This is often used in design and art to create a sense of harmony and stability in a composition. This type of balance is commonly found in circular logos, mandalas, and even in natural patterns like the petals of a flower. 

Asymmetrical balance, also known as informal balance, is a more advanced and challenging concept in design. It requires arranging objects in a manner that allows visually distinct objects to balance each other around a central point. Unlike symmetrical balance, there are no identical copies in the composition. Asymmetrical balance is a type of balance that doesn't depend on mirror images.
