Balance and Symmetry

What I'm Currently Reading: The Language of Graphic Design by Richard Poulin pgs 120-140

Okay, I was totally dragging my feet today, because I wanted to rpg than do this. But I saw that little don't break the chain calendar and I knew I had to do it. So gold star for me. So today I read about balance and symmetry.  First thing I learned about is how color, weight, value, and texture can affect a composition's balance. I also learned about what symmetry where one side mirrors the other side, and everything is centered on a horizontal access.  Asymmetry is where there is no symmetry in the composition.

Some of the explanations especially when it came to bilateral symmetry went out of my head and I'm going to have to dig more information up, but I got a good primer on balance and symmetry. I'm also found a video that pretty much sums up the difference of balance, symmetry, and asymmetry.

Class Is In Session

So college is expensive, like really expensive. I have a student loan, no job, and mounting debt. I'm lucky that I have a sweet arrangement with my parents that if I take care of their home, and the kids, they take care of me financially. However, I don't want to be just a glorified maid and nanny for the rest of my life, I want to be more. So this blog is logging my effort to rise out my poverty.

I want to be graphic designer. I actually do some amateur work, but I want to not only make my amateur work better, I want to make money doing what I love.. I'm going to try to update this blog five days a week with my progress and what I learned and what book and pages I'm on so you learn with me.
