Should you use stock icons?
There is surely no shortage of online establishments that sell stock icons; however, people often try to analyze if including these stock icons will change the look of their website design and applications; so, here is an analysis of how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are into website designing or are creating an application, you probably know that icons are often the major impact creators; they can turn your application or site from being only functional to one that is has a professional touch, easy to use and attractive.
However, creating your own graphics can be incredibly taxing and of course a task that will take up a lot of your time. If you hire the services of a web graphics designer, you will end up paying him a bundle for the graphics. As opposed to this, you can get similar quality from stock icon sets available online for a fraction of the cost. A library of stock icons can include more than 100 images, provided in various image formats that are useful for representing the functions common to most websites and software programs; such as, help, copy, paste, lock etc.
If you could not get graphics that meet your needs, you can simply approach one of these online establishments and request them to make specialized graphics for you; this is probably the most suitable option; to state it factually, the original graphics artist will display a level of comfort with the theme which will help him to retain a modicum of similarity in all the icons in a series associated with a distinct theme.
The next query that several people think about is whether they should opt for the commercial varieties or go for free collections, so here are some thoughts on the advantages of commercial icon collections as compared to the free pictures:
Cost: The price of an icon collection can be in the range of $100 and above depending on the number of icons. However, free icon collections will usually have royalty issues and/or you will have to use accreditations while using them.
Size: High quality image collections are available in a variety of pixels, so although you pay for a single icon, you can get them in several sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also purchase them in various states such as disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images are only available in a single state and size
License: You may have to face some issues with the free license; you may not be allowed to alter the images in any sense nor will you be able 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.
Utility: Good icon libraries will generally have quite a few graphics to suit all your programming and web graphic needs but with free graphics even if you were to procure good quality images, they cannot be found easily which means that you will not be able to incorporate them in your applications.
