Image Archetype Families

 

I have created an overview of Image Archetypes (IA) for my IA clients. You can see what IA belong to the same family as well as their relative position on the Yin and Yang scale. It is a very simplified overview, yet I like its relative simplicity.

Note:

  • pure Yin = features are Yin only

  • pure Yang = features are Yang only

  • balanced = eaqual proportion of Yin and Yang features

  • Yin dominant = there are Yin and Yang features yet Yin are more dominant/plentiful

  • Yang dominant = there are Yin and Yang features yet Yang are more dominant/plentiful

Do you want to see real-life examples of some IA? In 2019, I have analysed the body types of Love Island UK reality show contestants here. Google their names and look at their images or videos. You will see how their features correspond to different Image Archetypes.
