Mastering Balance in Graphic Design: Essential Tips & Techniques

Graphic design principles are your building blocks for mastering your process. In this video, I dive deep into what the different types of balance are (symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial), and how to achieve them in your designs.

Algo clave en el equilibrio asimetrico es que exista un centro de interes que domine la obra, y los otros elementos sean su soporte. Si no hubiera un punto de interes, es decir, un elemento que resalte entre la variedad, no se generaria un orden ni una unidad, por ende no seria "lindo", o no estaria "balanceado". Muchas veces la resolucion de la tension se debe a que no hay un punto de interes en la composicion, entonces nos quedamos "esperando algo". Pasa eso en las composiciones donde hay mucho ritmo y muchos elementos que ocupan toda la obra, pero no hay un punto de interes concreto que domine.

[@tirsogamboa]

Yes, you are absolutely correct!! This leans into the hierarchy principle. Whenever I finish all of the principles, I will close the loop on how they all work together.

[@hithereimgwyn]

Very helpful ❤ I will watch all your videos.

[@user-bj7ne6li2n]

Wow! So interesting. I've watched the whole video and I'm not even a graphic designer.

[@tirsogamboa]

Whoa, that's so cool. It's nice to hear that design can reach new audiences. Thank you! 🙏

[@ikamy]

wow I have a long way to go 😄 thanks

[@tirsogamboa]

We all go on the same long journey. No matter where you're at, just enjoy it along the way ❤️

[@satish9357]

What books teach all of these. Can you suggest some books where I can learn best practices like you taught here. Or is it your experience. Any way I'm going to note down all these pointers but please suggest atleast 2-3 books through which I can learn these

[@tirsogamboa]

Hello, unfortunately, I don’t have a list of books for the design principles. I learned through experience. I’m trying to teach them in a way that hopefully makes them more approachable. I think it’s a matter of designing and getting constant feedback so you can see what to look out for when you’re designing.

[@zhihao81]

I think you have done a great job. I have benefitted tremendously from this video by showing us from this simple exercise of how many variations a symmetrical balance can have. My graphics design teacher did not even show us these. It really puts them to shame and also telling me how little I know even after I have done research into layout design.

[@tirsogamboa]

When I was in school, they too didn’t do a deep dive on concepts, but now that I have experience, I share it with a larger audience that could use the knowledge.

[@MaryAngelBautista]

Hi po! Can't download the project files. What should I do po?
Thank youuu

[@tirsogamboa]

Hello! The link should be working, but I also uploaded here temporarily: we.tl/t-2tYALIg1WH
