Taste Test
I’m comparing two versions of the same component:
A — With Illustration
B — With Icon
Both work. They just communicate differently.
Which would you choose here, and why?

Illustration works for me
I also love the one with illustration to be honest.
Thanks for contributing 😊
You're welcome Ashiat
It really depends on the context. Who it’s for, where it lives in the flow, and how many cards you’re showing. Illustrations can make a card easier to identify, but if you have many cards, icons usually scale better and keep things clearer.
I totally agree with you.
There are six cards in this case, so I am just trying to figure out the best way to handle it
Both are clean but Illustration stand out. It gives the UI a premium, custom feel that an icon just can not match. Nice work, Ashiat!
Thanks Rana.
I am also a fan of the illustration 😊
