Illustration

Version 1.0.0 Ready

Photography covers most of our needs for visual imagery, but there are times when photography isn't a good fit. For example when dealing with more abstract transactional concepts like "log in" or "verify your account". In these cases, we use illustration to add some vibrance to our designs.

Guidelines

Our illustration style is still a work-in-progress; currently it follows a few simple guidelines.

  • Vector
  • Isometric perspective
  • Simple details
  • Small characters (usually) around a large object
  • Limited color palette
  • White background

Resources

We have a library of pre-made characters which can be adapted for new designs, and an Adobe Illustrator color palette. Contact Will Wallace for access to both of these; I'll aim to make them available on this site in future.
