An asymmetrical L shape arrangement. To achieve not symmetrical design, visual balance must be carefully thought.

Outline- Visual weight line=focal line

4 aqua roses makes an arched curve, which can be interpreted as a "visual weight line". The line is slightly off centre, which is showed an vertical line from the top corner.



Lines

Composition- copying the focal line

As the "visual weight line" is oriented from the top corner, it is natural to follow it in terms of composition. I made 3 lines in total. One is the visual weight line. In other word, it might be a focal line too. Second is a line with lisianthus. Final one is by carnations.
