Are you part of a sporting team and want to promote yourselves, your wins, or just let everyone know how awesome you are?

Think about a caricature for your sport team.  We did one for a basketball team. The have won four straight championships, and at the start of the season just wanted to let the opposition know they are in for a tough time.

Here is the result, in BW so it is suitable for use on a t-shirt.

The client just emailed us and said:

It was perfect timing – our first game of the new season was last night and I had managed to get the t-shirts printed up during the day so everyone was wearing them in the warm ups. The whole team LOVES them – we’re still emailing/facebooking each other about how awesome they are, so please thank Harry again for us.

And thank you for making it all happen.

And their testimonial placed on our site…

Harry did a caricature of our social basketball team to celebrate our championship season, to make a t-shirt for everyone in the team (much like the throwback NBA tees of the 80s and 90s). It was AMAZING. Everyone was in stitches when they saw it. The drawing was unbelievable, and it is so cool to think that we’ll still own these t-shirts in 20 years time. Thank you so much Harry (and Matt for organising it), this is one of the greatest things I’ll ever own!!!

With Halloween just around the corner, why not think about a Halloween caricature?

Here is an example.

How often have you waded through a manual or some training material wishing there were some graphics to liven up the page, or to help mark important points on the page?

Too much text, even if broken up by headings and dot points becomes dull and uninspiring to the reader.

The use of imaginative graphics can make a significant different to the readablility and navigation of any material, plus add significantly to the visual appeal.

Custom graphics can be used to identify key points, section summaries, activities or to signify important transitions.

Graphics can take on many forms, however, opting for the human touch can make a real difference.

Here is an example one client did for “stop, go, well done” type situations.

manual graphics

These sorts of graphic can personalise your materials, can allow an identity of the voice behind the words to emerge.

Of course printed materials are an obvious choice, buy don’t forget PowerPoint presentations and other audiovisual situations.

The use of a good graphic can provide a moment of respite from a  series of facts and gives the audience’s brains a short time-out. It also helps to differentiate your presentation from all of the boring ones!

If you are looking for some graphic work for your manuals, fliers, presentations study books etc, Caricature King has several artists who can provide a range of services in black and white and colour.

Please contact us to discuss your needs.

We had a caricature order the other day that was inspired by one of the trainers on Australia’s Biggest Loser – Emazon. The customer has completed one of her training courses and wanted a graphic approach caricature that she could use as a desktop on her computer plus other uses.

Part of the instruction (thanks for the great instructions Lauren ) included showing the “unleashing of your inner goddess, allowing your inner goddess to be free and spread her wings”.

So here is the result from artist Brian.

The client’s response?

“She’s beautiful!!! Can you please pass on my thanks to Brian, I am really really really happy with it and I will be showing all the girls that did the Emazon workshop with me.

So caricatures can be used for a wide range of applications – do you have something?
