A self-imaging device, which may lack an active visual display, has an alignment indicator that a person can view to determine when he or she is positioned properly in front of the self-imaging device. The indicator comprises a lenticular lens panel having lenses that are positioned over respectively corresponding graphical patterns. Depending on the configuration of the graphical patterns, the lens panel projects different composite images in different directions. When the person is properly aligned, the person will observe a composite image that indicates alignment. When the person is not properly aligned, the person will observe a composite image that indicates non-alignment. The graphical patterns are illuminated by a light guide, which is a panel that distributes light across the graphical patterns.
