People in Visuals
Illustrations are for data, concepts, and diagrams — never for depicting people. When a visual needs to show a person or group, use photography following the photography guidelines.
Illustration Color Palette
Do / Don't
Layout example with invented categories A, B and C. Use legible labels, an honest scale and explicit assumptions in a real chart.
Use non-brand colors, skip axes and labels, use sharp corners, or overcrowd with too many data points.
Keep one concept per illustration. Test whether readers can identify the intended point; do not infer comprehension from a tidy layout.
Overcomplicate with multiple concepts, thin inconsistent strokes, or decorative elements that don't convey meaning.
