Diverse Illustration

Hey everyone, #BlackLivesMatter.

Beyond our individual efforts, let's explore ways to promote inclusivity on this platform. One approach is highlighting exceptional design resources that authentically represent Black individuals. Diverse representation is crucial.

Consider Pablo Stanley, a talented illustrator who seamlessly blends illustration with modern design tools. His illustration libraries, available as Sketch and Figma plugins, offer a diverse range of characters with customizable clothing, hairstyles, and skin tones.

Examples include Humaaans and OpenPeeps, each with a unique style but sharing the same commitment to inclusivity.

Pablo and his collaborators are developing Blush, a comprehensive platform integrating diverse illustration styles from various artists, including Susana Ortiz, Elina Cecila Giglio, Isabela Humphrey, and Else Ramirez.

I recently used Blush for a project and was impressed by its ease of use and the breadth of options. I was even surprised by the capabilities of such Figma plugins!

The striking lack of white-centric bias is noteworthy.

For my project, requiring business-themed illustrations, my usual stock art sources yielded predominantly white characters. While diverse options existed, the search results heavily favored illustrations of white people. This wasn't suitable for my globally-focused project. A predominantly white graphic rarely aligns with the needs of a diverse audience.

If you disagree, here's a diverse selection of... well, let's just say you can kiss those concerns goodbye! ?

Speaking of diverse illustrations, let's highlight Black-focused illustration resources. Many offer free and paid options, addressing the underrepresentation in design elements like icon sets.

Katerina Limpitsouni's unDraw also provides fantastic inclusive resources!

Finally, while not an illustration, CSS enthusiasts will appreciate this: A t-shirt where 100% of proceeds benefit the Black Lives Matter foundation.

(Yes, I know IDs can't start with a number. The quirky CSS selector #\\30 00000 highlights the point!)
