The Design Element

I can't help but love these sites, the illustrations used on them add so much to the uniqueness of the sites and makes them far more memorable. The funny little Hawaiian girl makes a good design great; consider how easy it would be to forget this site other wise. Certainly coming up with such illustrations can be difficult or just down right expensive. Sometimes stock photos can do the job, but if you really want to create a unique experience for your users you generally have to do something that isn't easy; because easy is what loads of people have already done.

Illustration is a good way to add uniqueness to a site. If itīs distinct enough it gives the user an expressive feel connecting and mental connection to the website.
