Peruse the design showcases, and you’ll see one illustrated portrait after another of and by your favorite designers. It’s amazing how different they all are — and how each seems to reflect the personality of the designer. How would you illustrate yourself?

I hope you enjoyed this collection of designer self-portraits. Do you have a self-portrait on your design website that you would like to share? Or did you create an illustration of yourself for use as an avatar? I’d love to see them! Send me your image, your name, and a link to your website, and I’ll be glad to add the best illustrations to this post. I’m working on mine now. I’ll post it here and on my About page as soon as it’s finished!

Hi Manda, here’s one I did a while ago using Photoshop and a graphics tablet. There were over 50 layers involved and a lot of coffee!!

Thanks Manda,
I’m working on a step by step tutorial with another picture which I’ll be posting soon, its going to be part of my blog design. Let you know when I have it finished.

Yes, I’ve created one as part of my portfolio redesign (a work in progress). The portfolio isn’t done, but the self-portrait is in my Flickr.

Wow Tarale, this is BEAUTIFUL!! I’ve added you to the post. Thanks so much for offering to share!
Great picture Tarale, particularly the hair, something which I find difficult, prob because I have none myself!!

These are so fun
Awesome suggestion Willie! I’ve added Shaun to the post, thanks!
Josh Tiltons style of self portrait is really cool, I think I need to work with my adobe photoshop and start working on my own self portrait. It does seems a lot of fun to add in my own website.
I think if I wanted an illustration of myself, and I kinda do, that I would have a talented friend do it for me. I think it’s usually easier to see somebody else than it is yourself.
Just noticed that my self portrait is still being mentioned after all this time.. it has since moved to http://www.billymedia.co.uk. Thanks
