Illustration worklist

28 Aug 2026 · 24 categories · 108 objects in the library, 86 of them unused

Nothing is missing. Every category resolves to a file that exists, so no board is falling back to its SF Symbol. The gap is narrower than that: two pairs of categories draw the same object, which means two tiles in the browse row render identically. That reads as a bug rather than as a gap.

Two to draw

Software

illus-software

An app window, a disc, a cursor — something that is not a machine.

Currently shares illus-laptop with Electronics, which keeps it. I checked all 86 unused objects: illus-tablet, illus-phone-case and illus-headphones are the nearest and all three are still hardware. Nothing in the library reads as software.

Moving

illus-moving-truck

A box truck, or a stack of moving boxes.

Currently shares illus-car with Auto, which keeps it. illus-tool-box and illus-lunch-box are the closest unused objects and neither reads as moving. Brands behind it: PODS, U-Haul, Penske, Budget Truck Rental.

Already resolved without drawing

CategoryWasNow
Insuranceillus-id-card illus-umbrelladone

The umbrella was already in the library, unused, and is the better insurance mark anyway. Memberships keeps the ID card on its own.

Open from the mockup, no drawing needed

Four categories draw something different from what the A/B mockup shows. Three of them have the right object already in the library, so they are a one-line registry edit whenever you decide. Only Outdoor would need new work.

The drawing spec

Draw these heavier than what is around them. I measured the existing library: against a 10pt spec, the files that expose a stroke width come in between 4.9 and 7.1 equivalent. illus-sofa is stroked at 4.0pt on its own artboard, which is the weight the assets README warns "renders at roughly 0.8pt on a standard card and disappears". Drawing to spec will make these two stronger than their neighbours, which is the direction you asked for.

This list is also live in the admin at 127.0.0.1:8765 under Illustrations to make, computed from registry/categories.yaml against the library each time the page loads, so it cannot go stale the way this file can.
