Achieve the look you want with balance! In It's a Balancing Act, Raquel Bowman takes an in-depth look at the important foundation of all our projects—balance. Learn why balance is essential in paper crafting, how to achieve balance on a layout, and what makes certain elements visually heavier or lighter than others. Then put your knowledge into practice creating layouts with four balance-based design concepts: symmetrical, asymmetrical, radial, and mosaic. Throughout each lesson, you'll be training your eye to spot balance while creating projects you'll love!
