What also helped, though, was the amazing staff at Feel Desain who did an incredible job at recreating these mugshots using only a series of triangles. Kudos to the emerging blog magazine. 'Polygonal Portraits' were made using a nifty new [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawww) app called Poly that allows users to trace geometric shapes over portraits. As you can see for yourself, the results are stunning and I wouldn't mind downloading the app to try making my own [polygonal portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaginova). The list of celebrities in 'Polygonal Portraits' is extensive, but viewers will no doubt recognize Angelina Jolie, Heath Ledger, Paris Hilton, George Clooney, Clint Eastwood, Pink and even President Obama. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Polygonal Portraits:** The use of Poly iPad app to create Polygonal Portraits introduces a new trend of incorporating geometric shapes into portrait photography. - **Celebrity Culture:** Polygonal Portraits trend taps into the fascination of the public with celebrity culture, which can be leveraged for marketing purposes. - **Digital Art:** Polygonal Portraits trend demonstrates the growing popularity of digital art and manipulation, creating opportunities for software and technology companies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Polygonal Portraits trend creates an opportunity for photographers to explore a new art form that appeals to a broad audience. - **Mobile Apps:** Poly iPad app used in creating Polygonal Portraits opens up opportunities for mobile app developers creating software and tools for artists and photographers. - **Marketing:** Polygonal Portraits trend presents opportunities for marketers to tap into the public's fascination with celebrity culture, using polygonal portraits as a marketing tool for different products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Icon Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketchmeapp.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Whimsical AI Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clayify.md) - [Pop Art-Style Blocked Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-in-red.md) - [AI-Generated Self-Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai.md) - [Creative Imaging Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pic-2-planet.md) - [AI Avatar Creation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-avatar1.md) - [Time-Altering Digital Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-machine-feature.md) - [Celebrity Face Matchers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrity-twin.md)
