The piece above is balanced asymmetrically, The small circular red drops near the bottom of the page hold as much weight as the green tie and camera near the top due to their shape, color, and proximity to the edge near the bottom. Diagonal corners are separated by two different values but are similar in shape and size. The tall rectangular shape of the composition also lends a hand to weighting the images within.
