Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical balance in design, as shown in the first two images?

• Symmetrical balance uses identical elements on both sides, while asymmetrical balance uses different elements that still achieve balance.

• Symmetrical balance uses only geometric shapes, while asymmetrical balance uses only organic shapes.

• Symmetrical balance is always more visually appealing than asymmetrical balance.

• Asymmetrical balance requires the use of color, while symmetrical balance does not.

Multiple Choice

How can designers use typefaces to create balance in a design?

• By using only one typeface throughout the design

• By contrasting a decorative typeface with a minimalist sans serif typeface

• By making all typefaces the same size and color

• By avoiding the use of typefaces altogether

Open Ended

Why might a designer choose to have symmetrical margins of space around objects, even if the overall design is asymmetrical?

• The use of contrasting colors to create emphasis

• The use of asymmetrical layouts to create tension

Multiple Choice

How can repetition in type be achieved according to the images?

• By using similar typefaces, sizes, weights, spacing, and alignment

• By using only one color throughout the design

• By randomly changing the font style in each word
