figure / ground the spacial relationship between an object (positive space) and it’s background (negative space).
rotationturning an object around a predetermined axis often implies movement/ continuance. this causes the viewer’s eye to follow apath created by the object(s).
reflectionthe placement of a figure on a plane of 180 degrees. achieves the same
effect as seeing the duplicate of a figure in a mirror.
symmetric balancea form of balance characterized by similar objects placed
on opposite sides of a central axis, but the placement creates a uniform, equal, proportionate composition.
asymmetric balancea form of balance characterized by objects being placed on opposite sides of a central axis but theplacement of the items cause the composition to appear unequal and non-uniform. it does not look proportionate.
ambiguous balancea form of balance characterized by its undecided nature.the objects in the composition do not clearly or directly relate to one another.
neutral balancea form of balance characterized by it’s undecided nature. the objects in the composition do notclearly or directly relate to one another.
