We can say that Illustration is a visual form of presenting something (via Wikipedia). Regarding web design, we can also say that the main goal is to “present something” in a beautiful and interesting form, so we get our user’s attention. Today we decided to gather some examples of websites using illustrations and/or hand drawn elements to present their content. From hand drawn typography to character illustrations and other details, here you will see a lot of inspiring examples.

Good inspiring web designs!
Great collection, I really like the 3D illustrated look to the Bully website.
Thank you for that.
The “Analogue” is very nice.
Jan Ploch is the best one…great idea!
Not all of these are completely illustrative, but the ones that are are lovely. I like Steedicons cartoon style colours and and bright design. Phase 2 design studio is really fantastic design job too! Worth a click, follow the page down and watch the water droplet! Really clever inspiring work.
Another great group, thank you. I particularly liked Cantilever Chippy. Hmm, lunchtime 🙂
Really amazing roundup! Personally “Sasquatch Music Festival” is the favorite one.
These are really nice! I’m really digging that paper form. Very inspiring for bloggers.
Wow! Some beautiful examples here. Illustration such as that on Bully! Entertainment is beyond me! Brilliant! :o)
Wonderful designs. I like all the illustrations.
Post more unique ones.
Cool collection. May I also suggest a look at my site (cheeky I know!)…
