===**__  The **symmetrical balance** is mirror image balance. the items in the picture are the same on either side of its axis.



The **asymmetrical balance** is occurs when several smaller iterms on one side that are balanced by a arge item on the other side. or smaller items are placed further aways from the centre of the screen then larger items.

Small areas of vibrant color can be used to balance larger areas of more neutral colors.
 * by color **

**by value** Value refers to the darkness or lightness of objects.

**by shape** Large flat areas without much detail can be balanced by smaller irregularly shaped objects since the eye is led towards the more intricate shape.

**by position** Using a balance beam, a larger weight closer to the center point can be balanced by a lighter weight further away from the center.

**by texture** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: minion web,century schoolbook,serif; font-size: 120%;">Smaller areas with interesting textures (variegated light and dark, or random fluctuations) can balance larger areas with smoother, untextured looks.
