39 of 365: Face-ism Ratio design principle

39 of 365 – face-ism ratio design principle by John LeMasney via lemasney.com

Consider face-ism ratio when presenting a photo of a human. The theory says that a face that takes up a larger portion of the photo emphasizes the intelligence and persona of the person in the photo, where a photo that shows less of the face, and more of the body, emphasizes the bodily and aesthetic features of the person.

In this illustration, I decided to show myself with a higher and lower face-ism ratio.
