Balance

Balance

Balance is a key concept in art and graphic design as seen in ancient imagery such as the Yin Yang. This one in particular especially with it'd use of retro 60s fonts to form the shape.

I really like this example as using colour to create balance while grounding it with the foreground image with the background uses proximity to create the the illusion of a profile shot.

This image finds balance between the starkly defined man and his dog against the greyscale blur of the train.

Finally this poster for inception achieves balance asymmetrically by balancing colour and density.

My first design utilises colour balance across both sides with the inverted colour White on Black on the front and Black on White on the back. The icon itself is also shows balance through limited symmetry as does the Futhark brackets around my name on the reverse.

These designs use variations on the same, the first uses symmetry in the reflected owls as well as the askew Futhark brackets which make a return. The second balances the dark focal point with the white canvas.
