Figure Portrait
Figure Portrait is a series of portrait illustrations created for a public exhibition. The series brings together faces from different eras and public personas, inviting reflection on life and time. Each portrait tells a separate story, and together the portraits describe a shared human experience. The illustrations began as hand-drawn sketches, which were then digitized with Procreate. Shading, layering and color blending were used to render textures and a wide range of emotions. The digital files can be adjusted to any size.
Figure Portrait Exhibition Display by Mengyao GUO has been identified as an innovative example of communication design by the A' Design Awards. Figure Portrait Exhibition Display earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design in 2024. The A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design prize which rewards outstanding design of logos, posters, infographics, brochures, packaging designs, business cards, book covers, billboards and more.
