1-Proportion refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design.
2-The issue is the relationship between objects, or parts, of a whole.
3-The most universal standard of measurement is the human body. This means our experience of living in our own bodies.
4-We always judge the appropriatness of size of objects by that measure.
5-An example is a sofa in the form of a hand is startling because of the distortion of expected proportion, and becomes the center of attention in the room.

1-The concept of visual equilibrium is balance.
2-This relates to our physical senae of balance.
3-Balance comes in two forms.
4-Symmetrical balance occurs when the weight of a composition is evenly distributed around a central vertical or horizontal axis.
5-Symmetical balance, under normal circumstances, assumes identical forms on both sides of the axis.
6-Asymmetrical balance occurs the when the weight of a composition is not evenly distributed aroiund a central axis.
7-It involves the arranging of objects of differing size in a composition such thzat they balance one another with their respective visual weights.
8-There is often one dominant form that is offset by many smaller forms.
9-Asymmetrical compositions tend to have a greater sense of visual tension.
10-Asymmetrical balance is also known as informal balance.

This picture represents formal symmetry. It looks symmetrical because of how it's positioned.

This is more of an approximate symmetry. You can see that the first tree is almost close to the tree in the back.

I think this would be more of an asymmetrical balance. I think it has to deal with how some of the swirls are put together.
