Flat Scene Illustration Set
A set of eight flat scene illustrations on one sheet, held together by a constant that most sets leave unstated — every figure drawn at the same height, standing on the same line. Six fields.
We made two examples: eight desk-and-screen moments in soft squares and eight quayside moments in true arches. Warm bone against cool grey, indoors against weather, and on both sheets every figure stands at the same height on the same ground line.
Eight panels identical in width, height and corner radius, one ground band at the same height through all of them, and every figure taking the same share of its panel. Eight different actions, one palette, no titles or numbers. Capsule shapes with fully rounded ends do not hold: they usually come out as heavily rounded squares. Arches, on the other hand, work straight away.

Flat Scene Illustration Set
What this makes
A set of eight flat scene illustrations on one sheet, held together by a constant that most sets leave unstated — every figure drawn at the same height, standing on the same line. Six fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the six FIELDS lines. Write the fourth one first — the constant is what turns eight drawings into a set, and everything else follows it.
- List the eight moments as eight different verbs. If two share a verb, one of them is a duplicate.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the sheet.
- Check it by covering the containers and looking only at the figures. If they are not the same height, the run made eight illustrations rather than one system.
What you swap
- The theme
- a day of building software by describing it
- The eight moments
- describing a screen out loud at a desk · scrolling a wall of patterns on a tablet · pinning a printed pattern card to a board · two people comparing two versions on one laptop · copying a prompt on a phone on a bus · sketching a layout in a notebook beside a monitor · showing a finished page to someone across a table · closing a laptop at dusk with the thing shipped
- The container
- a true capsule — both ends full semicircles
- The constant
- every figure three fifths of the panel's height, feet on a ground line two thirds down
- The palette
- warm bone ground, soft indigo, oat, sage, one muted coral
- The people
- mixed ages and builds, faces reduced to a suggestion
Before it runs
- Eight moments that genuinely differ. Four variations on someone at a desk is one illustration drawn four times.
- A theme with people in it. The constant is a figure height, and a set of empty rooms has nothing to hold.
- Willingness to fix the composition before the content. Deciding the constant is the design; the eight scenes are the easy part.
When to reach for it
When a brand, a service or a campaign needs a family of scenes rather than one picture: a website's section art, an onboarding sequence, a report's chapter openers. Templates in this style say the compositions must be unified and never say what about them is unified, so eight good drawings arrive as eight strangers.
What changes
- One sheet of eight flat vector scenes in matching containers, spaced evenly, with no titles, numbers or captions anywhere.
- A single stated constant runs through all eight — one figure height, one ground line — which is what makes a set read as a system rather than a folder.
- The container shape is honoured literally, so a capsule comes back a capsule instead of quietly relaxing into a rounded rectangle.
- Eight genuinely different moments: different places, different actions, different company, all inside one palette and one drawing language.
- Faces stay minimal and outlines stay soft, so the sheet reads as illustration rather than as clip art.
Pairs with
- Lanyard ID BadgeA lanyard badge photographed flat — where the colour band across the bottom is a code rather than decoration, so one card implies a whole organisation. Six fields.
- Art Toy 3D PortraitA soft 3D character portrait in the art-toy idiom — built around choosing a pose that cannot go wrong, because the one thing these renders always break is named and never solved. Six fields.
- Blind-Embossed Shopping BagA blind-embossed shopping bag photographed in raking light — where the pattern has no colour at all and exists only as shadow, so it has to fade the way real relief fades. Six fields.
