Illustration

Our illustration style is built from simple shapes, clean lines, and limited color. These characteristics give our illustration a consistant look and make it easy to digest and understand at a glance.

Principles

Construction

 

Simplified Construction

Illustrations are constructed using basic shapes and flat color.

 

Use of White and Negative Space

White is used strategically to allow more interplay between foreground and background.

Types

 

Spot Illustration

Used in smaller moments, usually paired with copy as visual aid so that the content can be easily understood.
