Radial balance

Radial balance refers to a design principle where elements radiate outward from a central point, creating symmetry and harmony around that center. Imagine the spokes of a wheel or rays of the sun—each part extends evenly from the middle. This type of balance gives a sense of stability and unity, as everything is arranged around a central core. Radial balance is often used in mandalas, clocks, or circular patterns to create visual interest and a feeling of completeness. It draws the viewer's eye toward the center while maintaining a balanced distribution of visual weight around it.
