“The principle of equilibrium has a lot to do with this compositional articulation. Now I'm going to talk to you about the concepts of leveling and sharpening, and also about rest and movement. By the end of the lesson, you'll understand why asymmetry doesn't imply imbalance and that symmetry doesn't have to be boring. ”

Let's see what it's all about. We impose imaginary axes on what we see to adjust the balance and a structural map to understand it. Every shape or structure is a diagram of forces. In the designs, remember that we perceive tensions between their components and formats. Balance is the compensation of these perceptual forces. If you are already in this unit you will surely be able to differentiate between the two. The ...”
