| Asymmetrical bob | An asymmetric perimeter creates a strong visual direction within the controlled outline of a bob. In the final frame for graduation portraits, this silhouette keeps the face frame and crown easier to read, addressing “Coordinate the silhouette with clothing, pose and location.” Use the real crop and lighting to verify “Hold through close-ups, full-length images and waiting time.” | Check the eyes, face frame and crown in the final crop and lighting; a style that works in the mirror may not read clearly at image size.
