Intro

The UX Illustration Creation Kit helps lines of business (LoBs) create custom illustrations. Instead of requesting illustrations, you can use the kit to build what you need.

It includes a large library of illustration assets you can reuse and combine in different ways. You can also adapt these assets to create new ones.

The kit also outlines the entire illustration creation process. Step-by-step guidance and links to existing illustration libraries support you from start to finish.
