Illustrations

The illustrations should always align with topics and goals in specific context.

Principles

Be simple.

  • For clarity, we use simple and specific elements to create our illustrations.

Be optimistic.

  • We are an open-minded, optimistic, and friendly team. We should reflect those values in our illustrations to connect with our brand experience.

Be gentle.

  • Our illustrations assist users in understanding context and guide users in the right direction. Illustrations are supportive, so they should be obvious but not aggressive.

Style

Shapes

  • All illustrations are geometric rather than organic.
  • The illustrations are made by circles, rectangles, squares, and triangles.

Example for geometric

Stroke

  • Standard border thickness: 4px
  • Depending on the situation, border thickness can be changed to 3px. For example, when the illustration size is small, an illustration with 4px border thickness would look tight. In this case, the border thickness can be changed to 3px.
  • We use rounded caps and rounded corner.

Do: caps and corner Don't: caps and corner

Radius

  • Standard corner radius: 10px
  • Depending on the situation, corner radius can be changed to 5px. For example, when the illustration size is small, an illustration with 10px corner radius would be over-rounded. In this case, the corner radius can be changed to 5px.

Example for border radius

Size

Depends on the situation, the illustration size can be the 3 types below:

Large

  • Use case: Empty states, error pages(e.g. 404, 403)
  • For vertical layout, the illustration should not larger than 430*300 px.
  • For horizontal layout, the illustration should not larger than 430*380 px.
Vertical layout Horizontal layout

Medium

  • Use case: Banner
  • The illustration should not larger than 240*160 px
  • The illustration should keep simple and clear. We recommend not including too many elements in the medium size illustration.

Small

  • Use case: Graphics for explanatory text, graphics for status.
  • The illustration should not larger than 160*90 px.
  • The illustration should keep simple and clear. We recommend not including too many elements in the small size illustration.

Illustration on mobile

  • Keep the proportions in original ratio.
