Signals

Cara Wang creates two playful editorial illustrations for Brio Magazine exploring body language and the art of making conversations less awkward.

Cara was asked to interpret two advice-led features designed to help young readers feel more confident in social situations. One illustration explores the subtle signals of body language, while the other accompanies a piece offering tips on making conversations with the opposite sex feel less awkward.

Approaching both with her bright, character-driven style, the spreads are populated with expressive figures, gestures and telling glances that echo the themes of the articles.

The lively pages embody a visual rhythm that mirrors the curiosity and self-awareness of teenage life.
