• The Art of Balance

    Posted by shernan on March 8, 2023 at 5:21 am

    Want to take your website design to the next level? Learn the art of balance and tension through positive and negative space manipulation!

    When it comes to designing a website, creating a sense of balance is essential. One way to achieve balance is by utilizing positive and negative space. Positive space is the area occupied by the main elements of a composition, while negative space is the empty area surrounding them. Here are some ways you can use positive and negative space to create a sense of balance or tension:

    1. Balance through Symmetry: By placing equal elements on either side of a design, you can create a symmetrical balance that is visually appealing.

    2. Tension through Asymmetry: Alternatively, you can use asymmetrical balance to create tension and interest. By placing elements of varying sizes and shapes on each side of the design, you can create a visually dynamic composition.

    3. Using White Space: Also known as negative space, white space can be used to create emphasis, draw attention to important elements, and create a sense of openness and airiness.

    4. Playing with Proximity: The proximity of elements can also impact the balance of a composition. By grouping elements together, you can create a sense of unity and balance, while separating them can create tension and interest.

    I haven’t consider these points when designing, thanks for sharing this information! I normally do designs intuitively and it also depends on the client’s request so I don’t really specify what techniques I use since it varies.

    Achieving balance can be done through symmetrical design, where elements are evenly distributed on both sides of a central axis.
