However, designing your own icon collection can be nothing short of harrowing and of course time consuming. If you get in touch with a web graphics designer, you will have to dole out a small fortune for the icon collection. On the other hand, you will be able to get the very same quality from web graphics available over the internet for a fraction of the cost. A set of stock icons will generally have more than 100 images, offered in various image formats that are useful for showing the functions common to most websites and applications; for instance, help, copy, paste, lock etc. If you could not buy icons that suit your requirements, you can always get in touch one of these websites and tell them to design specialized graphics for you; this is an immensely suitable option; simply, the original graphics artist will display a level of comfort with the theme which will help him to maintain some semblance of similarity throughout the series of images created for a particular theme. The next question that several people wonder about is whether they should select the commercial graphics or go for free graphics, so here is some insight on the positive attributes of commercial icon collections as compared to the free pictures: Cost: The cost of an icon set is to the tune of $100 and more depending on the number of images. However, free icon collections will generally have royalty concerns and/or you will have to use accreditations when they are put to use on your site. Size: Good quality image collections can be purchased in a plethora of pixels, so even if you buy one icon, you can get them in several sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also get them in different states ;for instance, disabled, hot etc. However; free images can only be downloaded in a one state and size License: You may need to tackle some problems with the licenses that are free; you will not be able to make changes to the icons nor will you be able to use them as much as you like but with professional icon collections, you can utilize the stock icons as many times and in any project as you deem fit. Usability: Commercial stock icons will generally feature quite a few graphics to suit all your programming and web graphic needs but with free graphics even if you do manage to get fairly good graphics, 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. ![]()
