Asymmetrical Balance


This represents asymmetrical balance because it gives the impression of comparing something light to something heavy. In this case, the queen chess piece is separated from the four pawns. The pawns are the light objects that are being compared to the heavy object which is the queen. The queen is thought to be bigger because of its larger size; whereas, the pawns are smaller, but greater in number. It may seem as if the image is not really balanced, but the queen is thought of as equivalent to four pawns; therefore, making this image asymmetrically balanced.
