Illustrations

Illustrations play a vital role in storytelling and representation in design. They add a visual element that can make interfaces more engaging, relatable, and user-friendly.

The role of illustrations

Illustrations should:

  • Tell a story: Each illustration needs to convey a narrative or concept, helping users understand and connect with the content.

  • Represent people: Illustrations should include diverse representations of people, reflecting the variety of users who might interact with your design.

  • Enhance user experience: They should complement the user interface, adding context and depth to the user’s journey.

  • Be consistent: The style of illustrations should be consistent throughout your design to maintain a cohesive look and feel.

  • Be inclusive: unDraw’s illustrations include a diverse range of characters, promoting inclusivity and representation.
