Onboarding illustrations

Mobile apps usually need three to five onboarding screens, each with a friendly illustration. Small teams can draft these with Raphael AI, a free AI image generator at https://raphael.app, and hand the best directions to a designer for vectorising.

Consistent set

Fix the style string and reuse it for every screen: flat vector illustration, rounded shapes, two-tone peach and indigo, soft grain, plenty of white space.

Screen ideas (habit tracker example)

• person watering a small plant on a windowsill — 'start small'
• calendar with a growing chain of ticks — 'build streaks'
• two friends high-fiving at a park bench — 'share progress'
• moon over a quiet bedroom — 'rest counts too'

From draft to asset

Export from Raphael AI, trace or redraw in your vector tool, and keep the prompt in the design file comments.
