Alegria插畫風ALEGRIA ART STYLE
用Alegria散播歡樂、散播愛A visual language that spreads happiness
為什麼Alegria藝術風格如此迅速受到大眾的歡迎？
原因有很多。
由於網站要靠插圖來填滿空間，Alegria風格的插畫就變得愈來愈有用。
Alegria風格扁平、簡潔，很容易繪製。
相較下，比較講究細節的藝術設計風格需要額外時間、技巧以及金錢來製作。
此外，公司行號也喜歡Alegria人物透過國際文化盛事來頌讚多樣性。
Alegria插畫傳達愉悅感受；這種愉悅感讓人們相信自己能信賴在網頁上使用這些插畫的公司。
不過，對某些消費者而言，這卻是問題所在。
這些人認為，像臉書這樣的公司只是利用正面形象來掩蓋本身的問題；他們無力處理醜聞事件，或是做出永久改變。
然而，對很多人來說，Alegria插畫呈現幸福歡樂，是一種非常好的視覺語言。
從擁抱在一起的孩童到共舞的伴侶，全部都是正能量的形象。
總之，對於這個有趣又令人歡快的插畫風格而言，似乎Alegria就是最完美的名稱了

Why did Alegria art become popular so quickly? There are many reasons. As websites depended on illustrations to fill space, Alegria-type art became increasingly useful. The style is flat, simple and easy to create. By comparison, more detailed art designs require extra time, skill and money to produce. Businesses also love the fact that Alegria's characters celebrate diversity by featuring international cultural events. The
illustrations convey good feelings. Those feelings help people believe they can trust the companies that feature them on their pages.
For some consumers, though, that's a problem. These people think companies like Facebook have simply papered over their problems with positive images. They've failed to address their scandals or make lasting changes.
For many, however, Alegria is a nice visual language that represents happiness. From children hugging to couples dancing, the images are all about positive energy. All in all, it seems that Alegria is the perfect name for this playful, fun art style.

to depend on
If you depend on something like these websites depend on illustrations, that means they're relying on them or counting on them or placing a lot of importance on them.
to fill space vs. take up space
I get the idea that these companies are wanting their websites to be more than just
plain text. so they’re using illustrations around the borders to fill the space. So filling up space sounds like it's more of a positive thing.
Like if you want to fill up some of the blank space on your website with interesting illustrations, that sounds like it could make your website look more interesting.
If something or someone is taking up space, it means they're filling a spot that could be better used for something else. So if there's an illustration that's taking up
space, it means it's maybe in the way or not
really very useful.

diversify 多樣化
