Composition must balance the message

The stability of your composition must balance the message too. Designs with basics Proportioned evenly on a central axis (visible or implicit) are said to be symmetrical. Symmetrical compositions suggest calm, order, and rationality. Everything has been neatly arranged for you. Compositions that distribute basics unevenly, by weighting the page mostly to the left or right, are said to be Asymmetrical. These can feel disturbed, energetic, and edgy which could be the right direction for a certain type of design mission.
