Radial is when the picture has a central point and the elements inside
the picture is turning into the central point.
This is radial because all the fruits in the picture looks like it is turning into the centre from outside and the centre of the circle has a darker colour which looks like a central point of the picture.
Another example of radial balance, the staircase looks like it is turning into the central point of the picture, and by that, it also created a circle as a central point at the centre of the picture.
Symmetrical Balance
Symmetrical balance is acheived when the element in the picture
at the left is same or similar with the element at the right. Also, the picture
will look the same when it is cut equally into half.
This is example of symmetrical balance because the picture is balance at
the left and right side. Both left and right side has the same thing when it is divided into half equally.
Another example of symmetrical balance, this picture has
the balance element at both left and right side. The picture will look the same
when it divided into half equally.
Asymmetrical balance
Asymmetrical balance picture has does not have the similar element at both side
but the colour of the picture is match. Both side of the picture will have
darker and softer colour to balance up the weight of picture.
This is an example of asymmetrical balance, the dog at the right is bigger and has
a dark colour compare to the small and with a light colour dog at the left however,
this picture still reach a asymmetrical balance because the background of the white
puppy has a darker colour compare to the dog at the right which has a lighter colour.
Another example for asymmetrical balance, the picture achieve a
balance even though the element in the picture are different. The women face at the
bottom right created a weight at that part of the picture and on the other hand, the
3 buses at the top left also created weight for the picture. So when both element
come in one picture, it is a asymmetrically balance picture.
