When 2 identical objects are placed on either side of the axis.
symmetrical and asymmetrical
Symmetrical and asymmetrical are two types of balance in art and used to create balance in sculptures and paintings. Using contrast, which does not create balance in art, is a way of showing differences in color or shape as visual contrast.
A symmetrical balance refers to a design that has dissimilar elements but still appears balanced, dividing a picture in half won't have the exact same elements however the elements they do have are varied and seem to balance one another out.
Symmetrical balance in desktop publishing refers to a design principle where elements are arranged evenly around a central axis, creating a sense of harmony and stability. This balance can be achieved through the equal distribution of visual weight, color, and space on both sides of the layout. It often results in a clean and organized appearance, making it suitable for formal designs like brochures and business reports. Symmetrical balance helps guide the viewer's eye and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the publication.
"This is also called symmetry or the balance of equal measures. In this kind, both halves of the picture correspond to each other with minor variations." -Herbert Read, Art and Society, p. 87

A symmetrical balance has its fulcrum at the midpoint of the horizontal bar and equal weights at either end. In an asymetrical balance the fulcrum is not at the centre and consequently the weights on the two sides are in inverse proportion to the lengths of the horizontal bar to the fulcrum.
