An illustration is a visual interpretation of a particular concept, text or process. In this study, the name illustration is used for all its types (icons, spot illustrations, etc.) People now interact with computers differently than they did in the late 1970s when the prototype for a GUI was developed. With the development of technolo- gies such as the Internet or a smartphone, designers moved their focus on creating products that are just usable. British tech philosopher Tom Chatfield explains (The Most Intimate Relationship in Your Life: Your Smartphone 2015) that smartphones be- come the most intimate relationship in lives that most people have now. People now seek for experiences that are emotional, memorable and pleasurable. Designers use a variety of tools to achieve those experiences. In particular, they tend to use an illustration. According to the statistics (Finances Online), 37% of most frequently used visual assets are original graphics, like an illustration. Apart from that, business owners also evaluated the importance of creative graphics. Com- panies that encourage creativity achieve 1.5 times more significant market share (Adobe). Therefore, focusing only on usability is not enough to provide meaning- ful and relevant experiences to users. The findings of this study are dedicated to figuring out what tasks can be cov- ered with illustrations in UI design, how illustration affects HCI and what value it can give to the products that are created by IT specialists, in particular, computer scientists. popup.nrat_date 2025-11-05 Close
