Use
Creator, work, SaaS, education, and tutorial sections that feel too text-heavy.
Illustration inset / local graphics
Use art as support, not the whole argument.
A single local illustration can warm up a dry workflow graphic, but the headline and proof still do the work.
Avoid
Generic decoration behind copy, tiny figures, or art that fights the article tone.
Rule
Text and proof stay primary. Illustration is the accent.
