Lack or absence of balanced proportions between parts of a thing.
Helpful?           0

Helpful?           0
(mathematics) a lack of symmetry
Helpful?           0
The opposite of symmetry. Any photo that is not identical on both sides and centered in the middle third is asymmetric.
Helpful?           0
Not proportioned into equal parts or sections
Helpful?           0
Lacking symmetry, unequal opposite sides of the body which are normally alike
Helpful?           0
a way of organizing the parts of a design so that one side differs from the other without destroying the overall balance and harmony; also called informal balance
Helpful?           0
Having unlike, or noncorresponding appearances; without symmetry. An example; a two-dimensional color work which, without any necessarily visible or implied axis, displays an uneven distribution of parts throughout the composition.
Helpful?           0
lacking symmetry; parts of the body are unequal in shape or size.
Helpful?           0
the depiction in a work of art of two sides as being not identical without impairing the general harmony of the work. Asymmetry is used to prevent a work from appearing static and superficial, as no two sides of a life form are identical.

Lacking symmetry, or proportion between the parts of a thing, especially lack of bilateral symmetry.
Helpful?           0
A characteristic of a composition where the two sides are unlike in appearance or unequal in distribution.
Helpful?           0
Lacking symmetry, that is, lacking balance in shape, size, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of the body or in actions taken by the body.
Helpful?           0
Lack of symmetry (symmetry: similarity of form).
Helpful?           0
A design based on informal balance; the opposite of symmetry, which refers to formal balance.
Helpful?           0

Helpful?           0
a term applied an object or molecule that does not possess symmetry.
Helpful?           0
An area that is not found to be identical in both breasts (such as tissue density). It is often a normal variant but can also be a sign of an abnormal growth.
Helpful?           0
An arrangement of forms that do not appear to be the same on either side of an imaginary center line. Contrast SYMMETRY.
Helpful?           0

Helpful?           0
Lacking symmetry; parts of the body are not identical on both sides.
Helpful?           0
