However, making your own icon collection is anything but easy and of course time consuming. If you enlist the help of a web graphics designer, you will land up spending an exorbitant amount for the graphics. As opposed to this, you will be able to find the precise quality from web graphics offered over the internet for a fraction of the cost. A collection of stock icons usually has more than a hundred icons, offered in different graphic formats that are ideal for representing the functions that are popularly seen on several websites and software programs; for instance, help, lock , copy, paste and others. If you don't get stock icons that suit your requirements, you can simply contact one of these websites and tell them to design a custom icon for you; this is an immensely preferable option; to state it factually, the the person who created the other icons in the series will display a level of comfort with the theme which will help him to hold on to some degree of similarity in all the graphics of a series created for a specific theme. Another query that several people think about is whether they should select the commercial varieties or go for free graphics, so here is some insight on the benefits of commercial icon collections as compared to the free pictures: Cost: The rate of an icon set is generally in the vicinity of $100 and more based on the number of graphical depictions. However, free icon collections will generally have infringement related problems and/or you will need to include accreditations while you use them on your site. Size: High quality con sets can be bought in a plethora of sizes, so even if you pay for a single icon, you can get them in different sizes such as 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also purchase them in various states like disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images can only be procured in a one state and size License: You may need to tackle some issues with the licenses that are free; you will not be able to modify the icons in anyway nor will you be able to use them as much as you like but with professional icon collections, you can use the images innumerable times in the most esoteric contexts. Usability: Professional icon sets will usually have enough images to cover all your application and website design needs but with free images even if you can manage to get images of an acceptable quality, they cannot be found easily this would mean that you may find it very hard to make use of these graphics when designing applications or websites. ![]()
