In design, there’s something about asymmetry that can feel a little unsettling to people.
Why?
It’s very divisive.
YOU EITHER LOVE IT!
or you don’t :-/
Because, you see, there are two types of people. You're either:
1. A symmetrical kind of person:
Someone who likes duplicates, mirroring images, balance, proportion, a tidy placement of things, etc.
OR
2. You’re a bit of a wild child:
Someone who's comfortable with things being a bit off kilter, askance, askew.
Which are you?
Asymmetry . . . It’s not most popular.
You know this, right?
It's definitely not something you’d do if you were designing for the masses.
You’d turn a lot of people off.
But for the artistic, the adventurous, the quirky . . .
Asymmetry feels just as comfortable as HOME.

Oh, and P.S. Pull up Google, search for the word "askew," and see what happens. Go ahead . . . Do it.
Those Google people are so creative ;-)
