It is a packages shape that makes a difference in the way you look at a product. How often do you choose a non-dented can or a dented can? I always go for the non-dented of less of course that means it’s cheaper. But in reality, it is the same product just the package is slightly different. Shape makes the product what it is and helps define it. In today’s every growing green society, the more shape and less packaging used the better. Make your packaging stick out by using a different shape than most people’s and I bet your brand will sell better or at least get tried once over a well known brand.

Radial design, is based on the premise of symmetrical design. Like symmeterical design radial design has balanced proportions, sizes and shapes. The only difference is that the design is based on a circle. This easily makes sense I’m sure. Radial design is used in less circumstances than your typical composition, though may be just one small part of a composition compared to asymmetrical and symmetrical which have to encompass the whole competition.

Asymmetrical is the opposite of symmetrical design. So that means that asymmetrical design is not balanced, proportioned and their may be more elements of one things than another. Basically when you look at something and the left and right sides are not equal in weight or composition, you have asymmetrical design.

The word symmetrical comes from the word symmetry which means balanced proportions especially in shapes, size, and relative positions, according to merian webster dictionary. Henceforth symmetrical design is design that is balanced and propotioned. This does not mean that both sides of the design have the exact same images or shapes, but may have the same size images, or size of varying shapes. By doing this the designing is creative a cohesive piece. This is just one of the many types of compositions that a graphic designer may use, there are even more kinds of symmetrical design like radial, horizontal, and vertical symmetrical design.

Composition is the spacial property resulting from the arrangement of things, objects, or elements in relation to one another and as a whole. There are many types of composition: assymetrical, symmetrical, radial, mondrian grid, and repetition. There is also the rule of thirds, that many photographers follow when they set up their compositions. Composition is what sets up the layout and gives the idea of and presence of the piece as the backdrop to all the other elemens.
