Symmetrical BalanceObjects on one side of an imaginary center

Also known as “formal” balance.
Asymmetrical BalanceObjects on each side
of an imaginary line are unmatched but appear balanced (equal in visual weight).
Also called “informal” balance.

Anything smaller would look awkward.
You can also group several smaller framed prints to create one large focal point.
