Should you use stock icons?
There is definitely no shortage of online establishments that offer stock icons; however, people often try to analyze if using these stock icons will make a difference to their web designs and applications; so, here is a look at how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are a web designer or are a programmer adept at application programming, you probably know that icons are often the things that add to the quality of your site; they can take your application or website from being only functional to one that is is professional, easy to use and attractive.
However, creating your personal stock icons is anything but easy and of course a waste of time.. If you enlist the help of a web graphics designer, you will end up paying him a small fortune for the icons. On the contrary, you can find similar quality from stock icon sets available over the internet for a relatively low cost. A collection of stock icons can include more than 100 images, offered in various file formats that are useful for depicting the functions common to most websites and applications; such as, help, copy, paste, lock etc.
If you cannot buy graphics that meet your needs, you can also approach one of these online establishments and request them to create exclusive icons for you; this is an immensely feasible option; to put it simply, 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 maintain some semblance of similarity in all the icons in a series devoted to a specific theme.
The next query that most people wonder about is whether they should opt for the commercial graphics or pick free graphics, so here is a look at some of the advantages of commercial stock icons as compared to the free pictures:
Price: The cost of an icon collection is to the tune of $100 and more based on the quantity of icons. However, free images will generally have royalty problems and/or you will have to use accreditations when they are put to use on your site.
Size: High quality stock icon sets are available in a plethora of pixels, so even if you pay for one icon, you should get them in different sizes such as 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also purchase them in several states ;for instance, disabled, hot etc. On the other hand; free images can only be downloaded in a one size and state
License: You may need to tackle some concerns with the licenses that are free; you will not have the liberty to modify the icons in anyway nor will you have the permission to utilize them multiple times but with professional icon collections, you can use the images as many times and in any project as you deem fit.
Utility: Commercial stock icons will generally contain enough images to cover all your programming and web graphic expectation but with free graphics even if you were to find fairly good graphics, these are very rare this would mean that you may find it very hard to make use of these graphics when designing applications or websites.
