This is my visual example of a symmetrical shape design that I found. This is actually an image or deisgn found on the designer brand Goyard, that designs wallets and different kinds of bags. What I like most about this design is the simplicity of the pattern but also the complications. The overlapping of the Y-shaped repeats itself across the whole image, creating a sort of image in whole that remind me of the old game Cubert. This design displays the symmetrical balance by having constant shapes throughput the whole image that easily displays where the middle is, although it is the same on both sides. The Goyard text also appears once on each side evenly, distributing the image into two halves which demonstrates symmetry.

This is my visual example of an asymmetrical shape design that I found. This image mainly uses a flower/swirl-type shape that repeats unevenly throughout the image in different places. What I liked about this one was the varying orange, yellow, red, even gray colors used for each swirl, and how there are different patterns of how these swirls are set up, some being grouped together in close clusters and others flowing freely. It is also visually appealing to look at due to the popping colors. This design displays the characteristics of asymmetrical balance by taking the swirl shape and putting it around the image in many varying ways, such as making swirls out of many swirls, having varying sizes of the swirls, placing more on one side of the image than the other, and changing the direction they're facing as well as the colors. The swirls look as though if they were randomly placed and do not reflect each other when the image is divided in half, showing its asymmetrical properties.

This is the visual representation of the radial symmetry that I found. This image uses a razor-blade looking shape that repeats itself in a circular motion that forms something that looks like a saw blade. What I liked about this image was the pointy, sharp-looking shapes in used a circular shape because it creates a contradiction as circles are known for being round, but this one creates a more edgy, dangerous look. I also like the simple black color, as it makes it look like some sort of dangerous saw. This image demonstrates radial symmetry because each row of the sharp shapes repeat themselves in a circle, and get bigger all around as you work your way to the outside of the circle. Any shape that is found in any area of the circle can be found repeating itself among the whole radius of the circle. Each layer is equal in size and shape as you go around the circle, which demonstrates the symmetry on a circular level.
