Alegria插畫風ALEGRIA ART STYLE
用Alegria散播歡樂、散播愛A visual language that spreads happiness
現在，如果你在網路搜尋資料，可能會不經意看到一些外型奇特但卻歡樂滿點的動畫人物。
這些電腦繪製而成的人物，頭小身體大；顏色鮮豔、四肢誇張像極了軟趴趴的巨大麵條。
這些活潑開心的人物通常都在四處活動，或是在做很有創意的事情。
臉書在二○一七年，砸錢請一個設計團隊開發一款充滿正能量的插畫系統；其中有一位設計師認真看待這個想法。
她努力在插畫中展現人類的關係連結、姿態動作、活力歡樂。
她「想要描繪出人們一起分享事物時所感受到的那種喜悅……。」插畫在完成時，獲得了一個非常適合這種新藝術形態的名字。
大家將之命名為Alegria──西班牙文的「歡樂」。
很快地，Alegria成為許多科技及媒體公司爭相搶用的插畫風格。
諸如Google，Airbnb以及YouTube這些大公司紛紛開始採用Alegria插畫或是與之風格雷同類似的藝術形式。
現在，舉凡網際網路、印刷出版、雜誌封面或其他媒介，都能發現Alegria風格的插畫。

If you search the internet these days, you'll likely run across some strange-looking, yet cheerful cartoon characters. These computer-generated people have small heads and exaggerated bodies. They're created in bold colors with arms and legs that resemble giant wet noodles. The happy figures are often moving or doing something creative.
In 2017 Facebook paid a design team to develop a positive illustration system. One of the designers took that message to heart. She worked to show human connection, motion, energy and joy in her drawings.
She "wanted to portray that sense of joy people feel when they're sharing things together...." The name which was given to the new art form when it was completed was very appropriate. They named it Alegria, which means joy in Spanish.
Before long Alegria became the go-to style for many technology and media businesses. Corporations such as Google, Airbnb and YouTube began using Alegria or art with Alegria-type similarities.
today you can find Alegria art across the internet, in print, on magazine covers and mroe.
