### *Illustrations - whats that*?  
It's a versatile means of expressing a message which helps to provide a visual representation or example of what is being shared, making it a message clear. It also adds an aesthetic element to a website. 

Let's check out an example design by  [Sindy Lailasari](https://dribbble.com/sindyamtr)

These are the free illustrations provided by  [icons8](https://icons8.com) which also provides a huge number of icons. They are kind of cartoonish but amazing. You can use this for free but they are uneditable and don't forget to attribute it.
