FAQ
Reader questions
How do I maintain visual balance when text overlaps the illustration background?
Use semi-transparent bands, subtle gradients, or increased line height to separate text from complex pose areas.
Can these poses be recolored to match brand palettes without losing realism?
Yes, apply global color filters or recolor vector layers to align with brand hues while preserving posture details.
What file formats are best for responsive web deployment?
SVG with embedded layers scales cleanly, while optimized PNGs work reliably for older email clients and static ads.
