Reedsy Team
We recently redesigned Reedsy's illustrated team portraits. 42 of them in total. A very diverse team from all around the world: France, England, Colombia, Sweden, Spain, Guatemala, Bulgaria, Italy, USA, Portugal, India, Poland, and many more.
For this one, we used a slightly less abstract approach looking for a certain degree of resemblance, which is unusual and hard for me. We replaced more iconic, vector portraits that were objectively easier to handle (interchangeable and scalable elements, identical generic features, etc). So we certainly went for the most complex option. Which is cool. Because it is not the general trend in these times.
All of these portraits are part of individual blocks including names, roles, location and a short description or fun sentence:
We also tried to incorporate some personal elements in them. Some people wanted to show their pets or specific objects, while others preferred a more conceptual or metaphorical approach. Here are some more, bigger portraits:
