EnglishWhat Design Use Cases Does Humaaans Support?
Updated
Humaaans is a mix-and-match illustration library of people, made by Pablo Stanley and usable with Blush, InVision Studio, and Sketch. It fits design situations where you need human figures you can rearrange rather than a fixed illustration: empty, error, and success states; landing pages and onboarding flows; grid layouts and templates; and scene-style visuals. The library is released under CC0 Public Domain and is described as free for commercial or personal use, so you can drop the figures into client work as well as personal projects.
Core use cases
Empty, error, and success states
The library is explicitly positioned for adding life to “empty, error, or success states.” Because you can swap hairdos, tops, and pants, the same base figure can be adapted to match the tone of each state instead of reusing one static asset across the whole product.
Landing pages
Humaaans is intended to make landing pages “look dope” — useful when a hero section or feature block needs a human element without commissioning custom art.
Onboarding and templates
The site offers templates as starting points, and suggests using them on onboardings, grids, or empty/error/success states. Starting from a template is the fastest route if you don’t want to assemble figures from individual parts.
Scene-style content
“Make a Sceeene” covers adding ambience to content. You can rotate and position elements freely, so figures can be composed into a small scene rather than placed as a single isolated character.
Everyday and personal projects
The site lists invitations, and even a tattoo, as possible uses — a reminder that the license doesn’t restrict you to product UI.
How the mix-and-match mechanic shapes use cases
| What you can change | Why it matters for a use case |
|---|---|
| Hairdos, tops, pants | Match a figure to a brand, season, or state without new art |
| Rotate and position elements | Build scenes and non-standard layouts, not just centered characters |
| Start from a template | Skip assembly for onboarding, grid, and state screens |
The site describes the parts as “like legos made out of flesh… and vectors,” which is the practical point: the value is recombination, so use cases that need several related figures benefit most.
Choosing Humaaans for a project
Pick Humaaans when you need multiple human figures that share one visual style and you’re willing to assemble or adapt them yourself. It’s a weaker fit when you need a single finished, highly specific illustration that isn’t built from the library’s body, clothing, and hair parts.
Two conditions to check before committing:
- License: the page states CC0 Public Domain and free commercial or personal use — confirm this against your own project requirements.
- Tooling: the library is described for use with InVision Studio and Sketch, and with Blush. Verify your design tool is supported before building a workflow around it.
