Tension to Achieve Optical Balance
"Tension is a very important design tool that has numerous interpretations. An old painter once described tension as ‘a very important something between two points where there is nothing’. Tension exists in color, drawing, relationship of shapes, and it is extremely important in any kind of composition - typographic or otherwise. Tension is a principle that is adapted for numerous effects or purposes."
