    Symmetry is one class of patterns in nature whereby there is near-repetition of the pattern element, either by reflection or rotation. While sponges and placozoans represent two groups of animals which do not show any symmetry (i.e. are asymmetrical), the body plans of most multicellular organisms exhibit, and are defined by, some form of ...

  6. Design principles - Wikipedia

    The top image has symmetrical balance and the bottom image has asymmetrical balance. Symmetry; Asymmetrical balance produces an informal balance that is attention attracting and dynamic. Radial balance is arranged around a central element. The elements placed in a radial balance seem to 'radiate' out from a central point in a circular fashion.

    Matte Blanco states that the symmetrical, unconscious realm is the natural state of man and is a massive and infinite presence while the asymmetrical, conscious realm is a small product of it. This is why the principle of symmetry is all-encompassing and can dissolve all logic, leading to the asymmetrical relations perfectly symmetrical. [12]
