What are the practical methods of symmetric construction?

"Symmetric composition" is to divide the layout into two parts. Through the layout of design elements, the whole picture presents a symmetrical structure with a strong sense of order, giving people a quiet, rigorous and formal feeling, showing a harmonious, steady and classic temperament. In order to deepen the understanding of symmetrical composition, an exhibition poster was demonstrated by using the knowledge points in the last issue. Scheme 1 Scheme 1 wants to present a sense of chaotic "nightmare" and express it in fault style. Look for the picture material with a sense of dreaminess, and carry out secondary processing on this basis. Put the material picture into PS, copy a layer, open the layer style panel, and uncheck the "R" channel in the channel options: flip the image horizontally with the free transformation tool to get a two-color effect; copy a new layer, and change the layer mixing mode to "positive overlay", which can enhance the contrast of the picture and complete the background processing: depict the main title, and then. Then through the comparison of text size, the division and modification of lines, the information is conveyed more clearly and beautifully. Put the depicted information on the central axis of the picture, and adopt a centered typesetting form to make the whole picture appear symmetrical: merge the text of the title into one layer, and uncheck the "R" channel in the "Layer Style" channel. Copy a layer and uncheck the "G" channel in the "Layer Style" channel. You can get a simple fault effect by moving the position slightly: merge two text layers, randomly select a small part of text with the rectangular selection tool, and move the position after copying to form a dislocation. Then randomly draw some red and blue lines to simulate the fault strip effect. The text also performs the same steps, but the position offset cannot be too large to ensure the recognition of the text. Finally, the text color is adjusted to blend with the background, and the design is completed. The second scheme links the theme of "dream" with the sleeping "moon", so as to find the material: the text information is placed on the central axis of the picture, the typesetting form is aligned in the middle, showing a symmetrical state, and attention should be paid to the contrast and rhythm when typesetting. The picture looks "empty". Re-input the word "dream", disassemble it from the central axis after amplification, and place it on the left and right sides of the picture, so that the whole picture presents a balanced and stable state of left and right symmetry. Finally, fuzzy processing is carried out to complete the design: Scheme 3 is inspired by the dreamland, which is like a mirror and unpredictable. Input the word "dream" with "text tool" in PS; Then draw five circles with the ellipse tool, with the stroke of "white, 4 pixels", and right-click the five circle layers "Convert to Smart Objects". Placed in the center of the screen, convenient for later filter application. Hold down the "Ctrl" mouse and click the thumbnail of the ring layer to get the selection of the ring, then press "Ctrl+shift+i" to reverse the selection and add layer mask to the "Dream" layer. By hiding the ring layer, you can get the effect as shown in the figure: add a filter-distortion-water wave to the text layer, select the style from the center to the outside, and adjust the number and fluctuation parameters to the maximum; A water wave filter is added to the ring layer, and the quantity parameter is adjusted to a smaller level; Use a solid edge "brush" with a black hardness of 100%. Other text information is centered on the central axis of the screen and distributed on the left and right sides of the screen, showing a balanced and stable state. Finally, transparent liquid bubble material is added to render the atmosphere and enrich the picture (there is a download method at the end of the article). Design completion: Scheme 4 is inspired by "daydreaming" and designed in the form of "diagonal symmetry", which not only makes the layout symmetrical and orderly, but also breaks the dull feeling of the picture. Split the strokes of the word "dream", add English embellishment and fuzzy effect, which can not only emphasize the empty dream atmosphere, but also make the title effect richer and more beautiful: the depicted word "dream" is distributed at both ends of the diagonal, echoing each other and showing diagonal symmetry and balance, and other text information is arranged in the middle of the central axis, and the design is completed. Scheme summary symmetry is a more rigorous and standardized composition method, but through the ingenious breakthrough of various design techniques, the picture can also have a unique aesthetic feeling, rich visual effects and good design sense.
