Gerd's vision is that all human beings should get the opportunity the present themselves in the best possible way and be happy with their appearance.

THE SYSTEM

		The Your Image Partner system is the professional foundation for all activity in the Image People movement.
Gerd Ordal has developed Your Image Partner together with some of the most prominent image and style consultants in Scandinavia. The colour related parts of the system is based on the nature's own division into warm and cold colours, bright and dull, light and dark shades. The system is based on extending the customer's style and colours into his/ her clothes, hair, accessories and personality. The customer are guided in how he/ she can use her personal primary colours and complimentary colours, and which shades from the four colour categories that brings out her natural colour the most. Planning the base colour scheme for clothes and accessories is an important part of this process. The material the customer receives is easy to understand.  A special colour matrix and wardrobe planner makes wardrobe planning an easy home exercise for the customer. To elaborate about the importance of colours, the consultant is also trained in optical illusions, vertical and horizontal lines, use of patterns, curves and proportions. For style the customer learns about how to adjust for her personal & anatomical shapes.  The customer brings home a form advising about her personal makeup and skin care products. In consulting the customer, the Your Image Partner system is more of a professional framework and foundation than a strict rule book. The consultant will guide and give advice in a dialog with the customer. The system provides the tools to help the consultant throughout this process.
