Patterns with crisp photographs of people have been popping up on websites, and with good reason. We've found that photos of objects don't really connect with folks as much as photos with people do. That's because an image with a person puts an actual face to a product or site. Photos, if done well, can tell a story and create a sense of personality. They can create an emotional connection. This month, we want to highlight a few patterns that really do this well.

This guy may look like Clark Kent, but this pattern from bookkeeper site Bench is hardly mild-mannered. What makes this pattern relatable is that the person could either be the bookkeeper or the customer. Either way, we're able to relate to him. Check Out This Pattern from Bench → |
