Ask DN: Where to buy illustrations for websites?

over 5 years ago from Tony Roberson, Junior Developer

I am a developer and designing is not my strongest aspect, luckily web design is now going towards being more minimalistic, but with rich illustrations. Here are few examples:

Those awesome looking SVGs/PNGs are looking great, while the rest of the elements on the page are very simple. Like Navbar, some buttons and text.

I was searching around and could not find a place where I can find such illustrations for sale or free download and use (with crediting the author) to use, so maybe you guys know?

Would appreciate any pointers <3

  Do you (or anyone else) know the name of these type of illustrations? besides the flat textured illustrations? i cant seem to find a proper name for this trend.

  I really love using unDraw illustrations. As a designer I can quickly change things in the SVGs, customize them, rearrange elements from each illustration. Although at some point I would love our client to budget custom illustrations, because undraw.co looks a little generic sometimes in terms of style.

Those are custom illustrations definitely. You're gonna have to hire an illustrator if you want something done like that.

There's good stuff on almost all the big stock photo/illustration websites the trick is finding it.

Groovyillustration (https://www.groovyillustration.com) is the best option for you. If you submit your request via contact page, they will create a customized illustration for your website for free. It will be a great place for you to test out what you like to have.
Once they complete your custom illustration artwork, they will inform you via email as soon as they post it on Groovyillustration site. Then you can buy it only if you like it. If you don't like it you don't have to buy it. Even better part is that if you decided to purchase it, it only costs you $11.99.
