front view

Seen from ahead

A front view shows something as seen directly from the front, facing the viewer head-on.

The term appears in technical drawing, photography, and design, where multiple angles document a subject: The architect provided front view, side view, and rear view drawings.

In casual use, it simply means what something looks like from the front: The front view of the house hides the addition in back.
