Description

Many of the patterns don't have any visuals today.
That makes them a bit boring to look at, and it is also harder to remember a pattern that you have already read, as you have no visual reference points.

Of course the best would be to create custom images/charts/tables etc directly related to the pattern content. Motivating the pattern contributors to do this could take a long time though.

Could it be a useful intermediate step to use existing libraries like https://storyset.com/people and others to find visuals that fit to a given pattern?

Research direction

Review the existing patterns and the proposed Storyset library, then identify how visuals would relate to individual pattern content. Done means the project has an agreed, concrete scope and approach for adding suitable visuals rather than only a general proposal.
