SymmetryOrdering principle in nature that represents the center of balance between two or more opposing sides

Symmetry in Nature

Exists with precision and beauty in nature

Humans mimic this principle in design to create balance and order in what we see

Lines of symmetry

Refers to the imaginary line where you could fold the image and have both halves match exactly (e.g. horizontal, vertical, diagonal)

Types of SymmetryTranslation

Reflection

Rotation

Translation Symmetry

Repeating pattern of identical elements that are proportionally spaced out along a line

Reflection Symmetry

“Mirror effect:” When one object is reflected across a plane to create another instance of itself.

Most common type we think of is horizontal (e.g. human body), but can take any direction

Rotational SymmetryObject is rotated in a certain direction around a point

Can be used in design to convey motion or forward progress in an otherwise static medium

AsymmetryThe lack of symmetry

Calls attention to certain elements by creating disorder

Can be used as a design tool to create points of interest

Creates visual hierarchy

Use asymmetry to grab attention!

Asymmetry vs. Symmetry

Asymmetrical object is visually heavier than a symmetrical object

So: symmetry is good for patterns, backgrounds, general layout, and anything else that is meant to be visually passive

Asymmetry is effective in breaking monotony and attracting attention
