What Makes A Good Gift

According to a website fee. Org there are 5 characteristics of best gift which are :

Thoughtful,
Unique
Surprising
Useful
Meaningful

It is christmas season and we are sure you will be thinking of giving your friends and family gift, we’ll before you conclude, we will want you to look at the characteristics above before getting them something.

We will suggest a caricature has all these characteristics and even more if you are finding it hard to choose a particular item.

See for example?

What is thoughtful, unique, surprising, useful and meaningful about the above image.

The caricature above is illustrated with a man holding a hand trowel building an Africa statue.

Thoughfulness : Is the above image thoughtful, will you say yes or no? It is, thoughtful not because it’s an artwork it’s also because it has tendency of making the viewer laugh which is (caricature) for you to give someone not just an artwork but an artwork that tells a story about the beneficiary and of all makes them laugh.

2. Uniqueness : when you want to give a gift and you’re thinking of a unique gift, one thing you can always be sure of is that a commissioned caricature will always be unique, it won’t be a commodity or thing you can purchase somewhere or anywhere in other words it is only the beneficiary that owns that piece alone in the whole wide world of 7billion people.

3. Surprising: Do you this this is surprising? Definitely it is, the beneficiary can never imagine what he or she will be expressed as, even if the beneficiary receives caricatures from people everyday, it will always surprise the beneficiary because, of course they will all be created with different concept, telling different stories, so in a nutshell itbis surprising.

4. Usefulness : Now if you look close to the image above, it illustrates Akinwumi Adesina holding a hand trowel, crying bucket filled with cement and building a statue that looks like Africa’s map, this illustration simply means the man (Akinwumi Adriana) is pert of those working tirelessly to build Africa, if not anything this keeps him reminded of his will and interest anytime he sees the artwork.

5. Meaningful: All that is illustrated makes sense, it tells story about the beneficiary, about what the giver thinks of the beneficiary which makes the gift qualify for the fifth character.

Now it’s Xmas time and am sure on your mind you will want to give best, a gift that will also qualify for durability character, which will be able to serve long so you or the beneficiary can always point finger to even after 25 years time.

Thinking Of Giving A Retirement Gift?

We know it’s hard choosing best gift to give to a colleague,boss,friend, partner, family, that will soon retire because first you will want to give them a unique, personalized gift that will last, if possible, forever.

Now let’s look at some items that are possibly best for retirements, so to list these items we visited a blog called considerables for 10 most creative retirement gifts,

Scratch of travel jounal
Spa basket
Flower Seeds
Personalized photo frane
Clock with a quote
Literary subscription
Whisky making kit
New hobby box
Personalized poker

Above mentioned items were the great items that made the first 10 of considerables, but now do you think it includes a very personalised one?

Yes, you can add text which could make it personalized, but wouldn’t you want to make your gift as personal as possible?

Making your gift unique and personal is the real goal of all gift giver, this will make the beneficiary have the giver forever on his or her mind.

Have you ever thought of showing your beneficiary his or her future after returement, how adorable do you think that will be for a person that is at the edge of retiring, they will be happy to see things that showed them about what you think about them or their future.

In the above caricature, we illustrated somethings which are element or retirement, like the wall clock, the mobile phone message pop up column, the fruits and of course the bed, all these indicates that the subject is retired and now it’s time for him to enjoy himself, for example the clock being embraced by the subject means, now the subject has time as his friend, no more resume time, and if you look deep the clock says 11:00am and he is still in bed.

Also we added the message pop up to indicate investment will start paying up And with the department message still scripted on the artwork it still makes it more personally.

What is your idea, we will express in funny caricatures so the beneficiary will wake up and get to see what you wish him/her after retirement, there is no any other better way to motivate and inspire the retiree.

This is just a sample, we can help express what ever the idea you have in you, also we can help advise on how vest the artwork can be produced.

Caricature And Things

Caricature On T-shirt
Caricature on T-shirt

A caricature T-shirt

Let’s gist you what’s happening around, if you know @50cent , or probably follow him on social media then you know he makes T-shirt of any controversy going on around him, which is him adding text or words to T-shirt for sale.

Now it’s different, how about if you have an illustrated image of what you want to say with the text on a T-shirt for you.

The recent, these new couple came and said they needed to do something different to their pre-wedding photo shoot. They have thought it through and they belief caricature will be their answer.

We asked they about their brief and gbam! We created and help print on T-shirt and deliver.

Now the reactions, because we like to get feed back from our clients, they have been given us plus comments and kept saying yes! They were able to achieve their aim, being unique and different with lot of humour.

In the artwork, we created the groom and bride wearing their tradition attires while we made the woman carry the man off ground to show the world, are you surprised the woman carried the man off ground?

Well, do not be surprised because it’s what caricature can do. It can make anything happen in an image.

Our caricatures are fully hand drawn which means you will be keeping a real artwork if order for your commission from us..

Mind you, as this is possible on T-shirt so it is possible to be printed in other things, like souvenirs, cars, and many more. Technology has made it very easy to print on almost any surface.

Cheers!
