Doodles
Oodles of doodles.
How we design them
- When it comes to doodles, only use our core (black and white) and primary (light-green, light-pink, light-blue and yellow) colours
- Use no more than 2 colours in a doodle
- Use them sparingly to add delight and when you want to draw attention to something
- When drawing shapes use an outline style and only fill them in if outlines cannot be used
- Use the marker pen brush
- Brush strokes must have a consistent width (not thick and thin in the same line)
- Doodles should not be used for more serious things (legal documents, transactions etc)
Accessibility
- To maintain text legibility don’t place doodles over text
1. Doodling around typography
- Doodles should only be used with “megaphone”, “shout” and “louder” font sizes
- Doodles should be on the top line of copy, if more than one line
- On colour backgrounds try to keep doodles black or white
- On white backgrounds don’t have a yellow doodle
- On black or white backgrounds doodles can be any primary colour
- Keep the doodle in proportion (using these guidelines) with the copy.
