This client wanted to have the caricature look like it was a clipping from an old wild west newspaper.

The ‘victim’ is a school teacher who held old fashioned values, and many students (and I suppose some staff) probably thought his attitudes were old - like circa 1880, so the decision was made to play on this.

The result, I think you will agree is pretty special. This is a full body with background in BW, plus a slight premium for that amazing detailing.

For many businesses having a picture of staff is one aspect of personalizing the profile page. You are dealing with a company and you get to see the person’s picture.

Sometimes however, staff are reluctant to have their photos taken for use on a public website.

One way around this is to use a caricature of the person. This allows enough of who the person is to be shown, but at the same time not revealing the look of the person 100%.

Some businesses like to use caricatures because they are different. This is great for a business that may want to remove some of the ’stuffiness’ that may be associated with their type of business.

Using caricatures of staff can also be used to portray that your business has an  ‘outside the box’ capability.

A while back artist George did a series of caricatures for Pyramid Educational Consultants.

I think they have shown good use of the caricatures by using them on their consultant’s profile page, plus on a map on the same page. Have a look here.

The caricatures are also used in email signatures.

I think this helps show potential and existing clients that their organization is not the same as everyone else - that they can and do think outside the square and all success to them for doing that.

An added advantage is the staff members also get a copy of their caricature to use!

Coming soon, a wonderful portrait of Barack Obama - a special limited edition framed print run will be available from next week.

This is not a caricature of Obama , but a top quality portrait.

Recognizing the efforts of employees is something that successful businesses take the time and effort to do.

For many Employers, the challenge of finding something a bit different to recognise staff can be a bit of a challenge.

Caricature King works with several companies and educational institutions to provide an employee recognition caricature each month.

These prove very popular with all staff, not only those who receive the caricature, but their colleagues as well.

Call them “Employee of the Month”, or “Champion of the Month” - if you are looking for a way to recognise employees, a caricature is a great way to do it.

The feedback from this client says it all….

Matt,

The reaction we got from the employees was great.  Each one has enjoyed their caricature.  I especially like the detail that is put in to include aspects of their work and personal life.  My favorite so far is the one created for Dot in March!

Lots of laughs all around.  Good fun!
