Origins & History

Isometric projection has roots in technical drawing and architecture, but became a distinctive digital design style in the mid-2010s. It offers 3D visualization without complex perspective calculations.

The technique uses a 30-degree angle for all three axes, creating consistent spatial relationships. This made it popular in video games (SimCity, Monument Valley) and later in tech company illustrations and infographics.

Isometric design dominates tech marketing, SaaS landing pages, and explainer graphics. Its clean geometric quality conveys complexity in an approachable way, making abstract concepts tangible.
