One of the great artists of the 20th century, Andrew Wyeth<\/a>, once said, \u201cIt’s all in how you arrange the thing… the careful balance of the design is the motion.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wyeth was a master of the design principle<\/a> balance. He knew exactly how to place his subjects on a canvas to achieve a desired effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A half century later, balance is still a key principle in art and graphic design. But rest assured, you don\u2019t have to be a master of the arts or a graphic designer to understand and make use of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a basic overview of the topic, you\u2019ll be able to apply balance with purpose and create a sense of equilibrium in your designs. And the more visually pleasing your visual communications<\/a> are, the more oohs and ahhs you\u2019ll get! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s get to it. Read on for an introduction to this principle, including how to strike the perfect balance in your designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
