24 - Symmetrical Balance

Symmetrical balance is something easily recognized. Simply put all the things in the work is balanced by something else, equally of size and weight. Mostly found in architecture, the idea can be carried over into artworks.


This cut between the DC heroes and villains is an ideal example of symmetrical balance. For every hero on the left, there is a villain on the right. They mirror each other balance the piece well.
