Abstract

In the ever-evolving world of technology and the increasing reliance on digital media for transactions and interaction with digital interfaces, there has been a remarkable development in digital interfaces. Understanding the factors that enhance user experience has become crucial to ensuring continuous use of digital interfaces and effective user interaction. Illus-trations are considered one of the most important tools in digital interface design; they con-tribute to effectively conveying information, enhancing corporate identity, building emo-tional connections with users, and increasing their engagement and interaction with the plat-form.

Among the various types of illustrations, line illustrations stand out for their effectiveness and prevalence. Line art is defined as creating an illustration using basic lines with different weights and angles to depict shape and depth without shading or color gradients, focusing solely on lines. Lines act as emotional triggers and can convey mood. They also create a cer-tain value for the organization and add a visual identity to it.

The research problem revolves around studying how line illustrations can be used to im-prove the user experience in digital interfaces. The study aims to understand how these illus-trations impact and enhance the user experience and interaction with the interface effective-ly. Additionally, the research seeks to identify the types and functions of lines and the im-pact of line illustrations on enhancing the user experience and the visual identity of the or-ganization.

The research relies on the descriptive approach in the theoretical framework to study line illustrations, their features, and factors that enhance the user experience. In the analytical framework, the researcher analyzed a model of digital interfaces that rely on line illustra-tions and conducted a survey to verify their effectiveness. Among the most notable findings of the research is the strength of line illustrations in guiding the user and conveying infor-mation in a simple and clear manner, which enhances the user experience and increases in-teraction with the digital interface. They also help build emotional connections with users, contributing to an improved user experience and sustained satisfaction and interaction with the digital interface.
