Visual Weight in Design ElementsThe major difference in design balance and physical balance is that your visual elements don’t have a physical weight. They do however, have visual weight.
Some things that affect visual weight:
Size – As you would expect larger elements carry more weight
Color – It’s not fully understood why, but some colors are perceived as weighing more
than others. Red seems to be heaviest while yellow seems to be lightest.
Density – Packing more elements into a given space, gives more weight to that space
Value – A darker object will have more weight than a lighter object
Whitespace – Positive space weighs more than negative space or whitespace

Rattle19th centuryQueen Charlotte IslandsBritish ColumbiaSkittagetan or Haida Wood, pigment Overall: 3 x 8 in. This rattle depicts a grinning mountain spirit, potentially that of a bear. The spirit would act as the intercessor for the human figure found between the ears. The rattle represents the relationship between the two and how the owner would depend on the spirit for strength and guidance.

Detail of the mandala
This mandala is in the form of an extraordinary palace seen from above. It is presided over by a female Buddha, Jnanadakini, who is the feminine aspect of Jnanadaka, a fierce manifestation of the Buddha Vajrasattva. Jnanadakini has six arms and three heads and sits on a lion throne surrounded by the eight goddesses of her inner circle. Four female guardians are seated in the doorways of the palace's gates.
