Illustration guidelines

Overview

Illustrations reach from simple product or item illustration to more complex context illustrations. It is important to keep the style consistent as the result should be a scalable system.

Illustration Overview

Product and technical illustration

Product and technical illustrations should be kept in a simple line style.

Apply two stroke weights as outline, the thicker stroke should be double weight of the thin stroke.

Limit to one fill colour from the Airbus colour palette for accentuation.

Illustration Technical

When illustrations are applied on coloured background make sure to create a good contrast for the outline and accentuation colour.

For more complex stroke weights may vary to create more levels of differentiation.

Context illustration

Stroke weights may vary to create more levels of differentiation.
