4 ways to use Black Illustrations

Illustrations are a source of inspiration for creatives. So it comes as no surprise that major design studios, highly reputable companies, and independent designers all use illustrations in their work. 

However, most illustrations lack representation and diversity, so we decided to design something that would depict Black people in various contexts and ways of life. And so Black Illustrations was born!

You can use our illustrations in various projects, starting with high-quality digital graphics to add flexibility and a distinct look. We'll show some examples and offer advice on how to make them look good.

Add some personality to your social media posts

If you're a marketer, chances are you're creating content for a company blog, social media channels, or other digital platforms. Black Illustrations has hundreds of unique illustrations that you can use in your social media posts to add an extra layer of interest and personality.

For example, if you want to tell your followers, "Thanks for following us! Here's a little gift for you," you might use an illustration of two people smiling and holding hands with a speech bubble that says, "Thank You!" (The same goes for sharing customer feedback or testimonials.)

You could also use an illustration of some people doing a little dance with the text "Yay! We hit 3,000 followers!" to celebrate your brand hitting a new follower milestone on Instagram.

Give your presentation a new look

Most presentations have slideshows that need visual aids. Fill your slide deck with images that perfectly describe what you're saying and give life to your presentations.

You can add an illustration to the first slide of your presentation to welcome your audience. This can be part of your brand identity, and you can use it on any slide where you want to grab attention.

Use illustrations as an alternative to bullets or paragraphs. For example, use them instead of simple bullet points so that your text doesn't look dull, or use them as a way to organize information into categories.

Make your landing page look dope

Designing a landing page can be a tedious process. You have to take a step back, check the site's functionality, and create something that you find pleasingly aesthetic.

Landing pages typically have a specific goal in mind, such as selling a product or collecting information. And since illustrations are often used to grab attention and tell stories for brands, they can be powerful assets for landing pages.

Don't just use illustrations as eye candy. Instead, use them to strengthen the point you're trying to make. Black Illustrations are perfect for explaining your product, company or service in a simple and engaging way.

Fun and educational printables are a must

The best way to explain complex topics is using visual elements that let the user understand your ideas faster and better than just using texts or videos.

Our illustrations can (and should!) be used as visual support for children to learn. You can use our illustrations in fun and educational printables, like agendas, on school books, flyers, and so much more!

If your business is about food and nutrition, you can use our illustrations to create informative content, such as guides and flyers.

The possibilities are endless!
