Illustration

I think we are more and more confronted with illustrations, visiting websites, opening apps, watching ads, etc. In today's article, we will try to find out why illustrations are getting so popular and more people start using them in their projects

While there are several alternatives to illustrations, we will have a stop on major ones, see all the pros and cons and decide, what and where better to use. Let's, first of all, find out the definition and advantages of the illustrations and then compare them with images.

Using illustrations we can convey the same idea to people from all over the world. Illustrations are like a common language for all visitors who are supposed to see the illustration and get the verbal message that was put into the picture. This is a more convenient way to convey information as it takes much less time to perceive illustrations than images or text.

Also, illustrations are handy when you want to show something abstract or express the thoughts on your mind when you know that you can't get a picture of the thing you want to include in your design.

No limits. With illustrations, you get rid of any limitations except your imagination. With great customizability, you can picture anything that comes in your beautiful mind, something that matches your idea and make your eyes. You have control over everything - colors, objects, positions, size, motion, etc. Just go ahead!

It is also worth mentioning the ability to duet illustrations with other design elements like typography. As communication has a vital role in the design and 95% of information on the web is provided as a text, we need to consider looking for ways to make the information easy to perceive and help visitors to understand us at a glance. The use of "text + illustration" construction is very popular. It is used on many sites and gives very good results in storytelling.

The fundamental mission of any content on the website is to deliver information to the visitors, share opinions, show the ideas, and much more. As everyone has a different vision and different approach to the same goal, we think that illustrations can unite us all with their uniqueness, customizability, and informativeness.
