Which angle best represents low projection?

Which angle best represents low projection?

• A. 0-30 degrees
• B. 31-60 degrees
• C. 60-90 degrees
• D. 90-120 degrees

Answer: (A)

Low projection means the feature doesn’t extend far forward from the face; it sits close to the facial plane. In profile assessment, projection is read as an angle: the smaller the angle, the less forward the feature projects. So the smallest range, about 0 to 30 degrees, best represents low projection because it reflects that minimal forward protrusion. The larger angle ranges indicate progressively more forward projection, which wouldn’t fit a low-projection look. A common mental image is a flat nasal bridge or chin that sits nearly in line with the face rather than jutting outward.
