Illustrations

02 Design guidelines

Illustrations can be a powerful tool within the branding toolbox of any company.
Illustrations can make complex ideas more accessible, represent our brand personality, voice, and values in an efficient and clear way and create an emotional connection between our users and our brand.

The Work OS universe

The Work OS universe is a conceptual place where our platform exists.

In our universe, users can build and create their own workflows.

Building blocks

Our platform contains building blocks that enable any use case to live on top of it. Each block represents the different widgets, apps, views, and integrations that are available to our users.

Illustration values & principles

Flexibility

The boxes can be different from one illustration to the other, and their order can change as well: This represents the flexibility of our platform.

Connectivity

Gradients connect between two or more colors, just like our platform is helping people and teams to connect and work together. That’s why we decided to use gradients as a visual representation of connectivity in our illustrations and designs.

Growth

Just like our platform, the blocks can group together and scale to any size. This represents the growth potential of our platform.

Transparency

Since our platform enables users to collaborate in a transparent way.

We aim to echo that value in our visuals with transparent layers.

Users and team representation

Human perspective

We use hands in illustration and photography to represent monday’s users. We want to avoid using full character illustration, so we can be more distinctive in comparison to other brands. This also helps our illustrations to always be action-oriented.
