First of all I tend to appreciate things in symmetrical balance and have tried to step out of my box once in a while.

There are 3 types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The C example is symmetrical. Symmetrical exhibits even objects..a wall grouping with 3 equal sized pictures in a row....9P blocks. Asymmetrical..a wall grouping of 3 pictures but one is larger and 2 smaller ones that fit in the same area of the larger one...a 2x4 rectangle and 2 2x2 squares.. Radial is circular, like a clock or wagon wheel..kaleidoscope blocks...the center of a triangle frenzy runner is radial, but combines with symmetrical balance with the 2 similar ends.

Not all things are balanced visually, and give you a lopsided feeling. Balance can be affected by colors as well.

Check this website....I learned something new...the 4th type of balance...going to check it out myself
