However, creating your personal graphics is anything but easy and of course a waste of time.. If you enlist the help of a web graphics designer, you will have to dole out an exorbitant amount for the icons. On the other hand, you could get similar quality from web graphics sold online for a relatively low cost. A set of stock icons will generally have more than 100 images, provided in different file formats that are ideal for showing the functions that are popularly seen on most websites and software programs; for example, help, lock , copy, paste and others. If you cannot get stock icons that meet your needs, you can simply get in touch one of these internet businesses and ask them to design a custom icon for you; this is probably the most feasible option; simply, the designer who worked on the original graphics will have the experience to maintain some degree of consistency in all the graphics of a series devoted to a distinct theme. Another doubt that several people think about is whether they should select the commercial images or get free graphics, so here is a look at some of the advantages of commercial icon collections over the free collections: Price: The price of an icon set can be in the range of $100 and above based on the quantity of graphical depictions. However, free icon collections will usually have copyright issues and/or you will have to use accreditations when they are put to use on your site. Size: Commercial quality con sets can be purchased in a myriad of pixels, so even though you purchase one icon, you should get them in an assortment of sizes such as 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also get them in various states such as disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images are only available in a one size and state License: You may need to tackle some concerns with the free license; you will not be able to make changes to the icons nor will you have a free hand to utilize them multiple times but with professional icon collections, you can incorporate the images in web designing as many times and in any project as you deem fit. Usability: Good icon libraries will usually feature enough images to cover all your programming and website design needs but with free icons even if you do 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. ![]()
