"world of averages" - composite images culled from thousands of individual portraits resulting in symmetrical average faces.

Hmm, I'd like to see those 1000, I don't think they've taken anything below a 6 into consideration.

If only the average woman looked like the one in the England one.

Sadly I think Vicky Pollard would have been more accurate.

I fancy boys said:

the thing is most people don't have symmetrical faces at least not perfect ones
don't consider it what the average woman looks like but the average facial features combined and that's likely the sort of shaped face they will have I guess

theres most likely some air brushing going on as well to combine the faces better than it would look if you just overlay thousands of photos with partial transparency ?

the hair and around the edge looks blurred the rest doesn't
