Use relevant illustrations
When designing empty states, incorporate relevant illustrations to enhance user experience. For instance, in a weather app, if there are no search results, a simple sun behind clouds can communicate the absence of data effectively. This visual cue aligns with the app's purpose, providing instant clarity to users.
Relevant illustrations not only fill empty spaces but also convey information intuitively, making the interface more engaging and user-friendly. Remember to make sure your illustrations are consistent with your brand personality.[1]
Pro Tip: These accompanying illustrations don't need to be overly complex or extravagant. Often, straightforward and pleasant visuals are enough to enhance the user experience.
