Hello! First of all, hope you’re having a great week.

Today, i’m presenting a new “section” for the UX & UI stories that i’ve been working on, based on great inspirations. So let’s talk a little bit about the Sapiens project from UI8!

Sapiens from UI8

What is it?

The Sapiens project is an Illustration generator which allows you to customize every single aspect from the image so you can give a better look and feel to your Website, WebApp or Mobile App.

Features

Sapiens gives you countless possibilities. the first one which in my opinion is immediately a great one, is the option of choosing between a Colorful, Duotone or Outlined illustration.

Duotone Illustration Example

Customization

You can literally customize basically anything on the Illustration. Choices like Male or Female, Backdrops, styling the head, poses or legs with many different options which are really cool.

Example of Customization

Walk, run, stand or cycle.

Sapiens gives you 4 choices for visual motion. It seems little, but don’t forget that this product is being developed since earlier this year (Version 0.1.8).

Example of Motion

Export

It is possible to export your Illustrations in PNG and SVG formats, so you can easily place them on your projects.

Royalty free?! Really?

Yup! All the creations you make and export are totally free for personal and commercial projects. Really cool, huh?

Royalty-Free!

Awarded at awwwards.com

Even though it is a new platform and is still in its embryonic stage, it was already highlighted as the site of the day at awwwards.com!

Purchase all the libraries and customize even more!

Sapiens Character Builder is available to purchase at UI8 for 38$ which is a pretty decent price for the quantity of assets they gave you.

And that’s all from the very first UX & UI Inspiration article. Hope you enjoyed and have a great Weekend!
