However, making your personal stock icons can be incredibly taxing and of course a waste of time.. If you enlist the help of a web graphics designer, you will end up paying him an exorbitant amount for the icon collection. On the contrary, you will be able to find the precise quality from icon collections offered online for a relatively low cost. A set of stock icons will generally have 100 or more images, sold in different graphic formats that are useful for depicting the functions that are popularly seen on every second websites and applications; for example, help, copy, paste, lock etc. If you could not find icons that live up to you expectations, you can also approach one of these websites and request them to make specialized graphics for you; this is by far the most suitable option; simply, the original graphics artist will have the experience to maintain a modicum of commonality in all the icons in a series devoted to a specific theme. The second question that several people think about is whether they should opt for the commercial varieties or pick free icon sets, so here is a look at some of the advantages of commercial graphics vis a vis the free images: Cost: The rate of an icon collection is generally in the vicinity of $100 and above based on the number of images. However, free icon collections will normally have copyright issues and/or you will need to use accreditations while you use them on your site. Size: Good quality con sets can be purchased in a variety of sizes, so even if you buy one icon, you should get them in several sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also purchase them in different states like disabled, hot etc. On the other hand; free images are only available in a singular state and size License: You may encounter some problems with the free license; you may not be allowed to make changes to the icons nor will you have a free hand to utilize them as much as you like but with commercial stock icons, you can use the images whenever and wherever you want. Usability: Good icon libraries will normally feature quite a few graphics to suit all your software and web designing needs but with free images even if you do manage to get fairly good graphics, they cannot be found easily this would mean that it may be impossible to use them in your application creation and web designing. ![]()
