Many elements must be considered when designing art for an engraving. Whether the design will be organic or geometric, symmetrical or asymmetrical, the details of the design are important to its success.

Sam Alfano has a well-trained eye for design, especially when it comes to the beauty found in symmetry. Although a design that is symmetrical can be created by drawing out only one side and mirrored for perfect balance, actually executing the engraving to get that perfection takes practice, patience, and experience.
