balance
how is visual weight measured?
by the eye
t/f - bold, dense forms, large sizes, dark colors, and coarse textures have greater visual weight than their opposites
true
two major categories of balance...
symmetrical balance
asymmetrical
______ balance means equal visual weight distribution on each side of an imaginary vertical center line
symmetrical
wh
which type of balance is formal
symmetrical
______ balance is created using unequal visual weights distributed at unequal distances from the central axis
asymmetrical
t/f in an asymmetrical design, the two sides may be distinctly different but they DO NOT have to have equal visual weight
false - they must have equal visual weight
