Introduction
My next step was to create a series of images in which the vertical distances between the eyes, nose, and mouth are different. I want to show these images to a test group and have them rank the images based on criteria such as friendliness, attractiveness, competence, intelligence, and trustworthiness. Ultimately, I aim to determine if certain characteristics are generally associated with specific facial features. However, I must emphasize that my findings will be based on general perceptions and are not scientifically validated. These associations can be incorrect, and a person’s personality may differ significantly from the impressions suggested by their unique facial proportions.
Conclusion
Despite the limitations of my research, it can still provide valuable insights for designers. Understanding the general perceptions associated with different facial proportions can help designers create more effective and appealing visual content. For instance, in marketing and advertising, knowing which facial features are commonly linked to trustworthiness or competence can guide the selection of images that evoke the desired response from the target audience. Additionally, this research can inform character design in fields such as animation, gaming, and branding, where conveying specific personality traits through visual cues is crucial. While the findings are based on general perceptions and are not scientifically validated, they offer a useful starting point for exploring how subtle changes in facial features can influence human perception.
