Creating Stability Through Style

Balance is something I didn’t realize I naturally use until we discussed the principles of design. When I create outfits, I always try to balance proportions. If I wear oversized jeans, I usually pair them with a fitted top. If I wear something dramatic like a big jacket, I keep everything else simple. This connects to what we learned about visual weight. Dark colors and bulky shapes feel heavier, so I balance them with lighter or slimmer pieces. I also think about this when taking mirror selfies. I adjust my pose and framing so the image doesn’t feel awkward or uneven. Design principles are honestly part of how I create my content.
