(I work at Notion)
Notion’s illustration style is the work of [Roman Muradov], and many of the avatars are the work of [Iris Chiang]. Roman doesn’t appreciate software like this that tries to reduce their artistry to a commodity. If you’re going to rip off the style, please do it with care: use feathered painterly strokes, not sharp vector edges. The avatars are drawn in Procreate, not Adobe Illustrator.

- leokennis 3y agoEverything is a remix. Roman and Iris might not like this - tough luck for them.
- shlubbert 3y agoJust imagining an alternative way this conversation could've gone: A: "Glad you were inspired by our illustrations! Please give credit to the artists that originally created them though. I also think you might be missing some of the painterly details that make the Notion style unique :)" B: "This probably falls under fair use, but I agree it'd be nice to respect their artistry."
- lopkeny12ko 3y agoAre you an official representative of Notion, the company? Because if so...yikes, this is a really, really bad look.
- mdwalters 3y agoOK, so? Just because someone uses another software, doesn't make it "low quality."
