If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel
stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are
similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different
but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central
point and may be similar.]]> 2021-09-10 20:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dybridson/vocab/wish/1731821781 Emphasis dybridson https://padlet.com/dybridson/vocab/wish/1731822912 Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the
