Illustrations

One shared library of NepWalk illustrations (D9). Every illustration is saved here, and reused from here. Do not draw new ones inline in a page, prototype or component; add them to this folder first, so the same drawing means the same thing everywhere.

  • Source of truth: this folder, docs/design/illustrations/. The app uses a copy in nepwalk-fe/public/illustrations/ (same folder names). Change a drawing here first, then copy it.
  • Fallbacks: a place without a photo uses its places/ icon; a Paila, journal or region card without a photo uses its regions/ scene.
  • New illustration: add it here with a short "use it for" line, in the same style (NepWalk greens, warm neutrals, no emojis, no sacred symbols out of context).
  • Prototypes stay self-contained (D8): copy the SVG markup into the prototype file.
  • Made for the landing prototype (docs/v1/designs/landing-v2.html), 24 Oct 2026.
