41
Q

A

This is the arrangement of dissimilar elements within a visual field such that the composition appears balanced, even though the elements are not grouped around a common axis

42
Q

What is visual weight

A

This is the perception that some objects are heavier than others by nature of their size, shape, complexity, color, texture, or location in space

43
Q

What is radial balance

A

This is the uniform arrangement of elements about a central point

44
Q

In regard to interior design what is harmony
