A Lesson 2
2.2 Symmetry Symmetry and asymmetry create dynamics or tension of the picture. In a symmetrically arranged image the elements are mirrored on the axis, in asymmetry the elements are randomly located. Symmetry Symmetrical pictures evoke, like horizontal lines, an impression of harmony. This type of arrangement can get boring when it is used too often. Asymmetry To evoke interest and keep the attention of the viewer, a lot of images are arranged asymmetrically. Asymmetry in images appears to be more dynamic and more exciting.
