I’m the type of designer that loves keeping things simple. I know I’m super late to the game but recently I’ve been implementing illustrations into some of my designs.

I found a great website where you can grab a bunch of free illustrations for your mobile app, click HERE to check it out.

Illustrations can add a whole other feeling to your designs.

Illustrations can also make your designs look more modern/techy if that’s what you’re going for and they can even give your designs more character.

Here’s an example of a design I created without illustration.

Now with an illustration…

Look at the difference in quality, the design with the illustration to me just looks so much more alive than the design without the illustration.

Here’s another example of adding illustrations, except this, is for a website!

If the illustration wasn’t in this design I would probably have to find some sort of random picture to fill that space.

I hope this encourages you to implement illustrations into your designs since this is a current trend in the market right now!
