Illustrio Beta - User Review

Having access to a good resource of graphic designs and illustrations that are free for personal and commercial use is a must for a designer to help them in creating their own designs.  While browsing the web, I have found a nice library of useful illustrations that can be customized.

Illustrio is a library of useful illustrations which can be personalized by anyone online before being downloaded. It allows you to customize the colors of the illustrations before you can download it. You can choose from illustrations, words and percentages.

They have quite a decent number of illustrations available. They currently have 6540 illustrations as of this writing (10/05/2015) and they are adding more to the collection.

Default illustrations are in Greeny color scheme. You can upload an image of the desired color scheme you want or you can manually choose your colors. At the moment, you can only choose three colors and you can swap the colors until you finally create your desired color scheme.

Illustrations

Here is a sample illustration that I tried to customize:

And here is the sample image when downloaded:

Images downloaded are in 1024x1024 pixels by default.

Text

You can also create text image, but characters are only limited to ten characters. Here are some sample of text images that you can customize.

Percentages

You can also customize percentages. These would be very useful when creating infographic designs. Currently, there are 282 illustrios available for customizing. You can enter values from 0-100.

The site is still in Beta, and was only launched this year. The app has a lot of potential, and would be very useful for graphic designers.

It is hard to find a site that offers graphics that are free for commercial use. Therefore having found this website would be of great help for designer who would like to save time from designing and have less or few budget to purchase premium designs and illustrations.

I am not an employee of this site nor an affiliate, however, I am very excited when I have found out how this tool can help me and other designers out there. I hope you can check out this site and share with us how it has helped you.

Cheers!
