Types of balance:  Symmetrical: exact or even balance of objects or activity in a composition (mirror images)  Asymmetrical: careful distribution of uneven elements. counterbalanced with contrasts such as dull and bright colors, dark with light values, geometric with organic shapes, active and inactive areas  Radial: objects or activity rotating around a center point
