Should you use stock icons?
There is surely no dearth of online businesses that sell stock icons; however, people often wonder if using these stock icons will make a difference to their website template and software programs; so, here is a look at how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are designing a website or are creating an application, you must already know that graphics are often the first impression creators; they can change your application or website from being just functional to one that is is professional, simple to operate and eye catching.
However, making your exclusive graphics can be nothing short of harrowing and of course a waste of time.. If you hire the services of a web graphics designer, you will land up spending a small fortune for the graphics. On the other hand, you will be able to procure the precise quality from icon collections available over the internet for a relatively low cost. A set of stock icons usually has more than 100 images, sold in a variety of file formats that are perfect for representing the functions that are commonly observed on several websites and software programs; for example, help, lock , copy, paste and others.
If you cannot find graphics that suit your requirements, you can always contact one of these websites and request them to create exclusive icons for you; this is probably the most feasible option; simply, the original graphics artist will have the experience to maintain some degree of similarity in all the graphics of a series devoted to a specific theme.
Another doubt that several people think about is whether they should select the commercial graphics or pick free icon sets, so here is a look at some of the benefits of commercial graphics vis a vis the free images:
Cost: The rate of an icon set can be in the range of $100 and more based on the quantity of icons. However, free icon collections will generally have copyright issues and/or you will have to offer accreditations while you use them on your site.
Size: High quality stock icon sets can be purchased in a myriad of pixels, so even though you pay for one icon, you can get them in an assortment of sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also purchase them in different states such as disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images are only available in a single size and state
License: You may have to face some concerns with the a license that costs nothing; you may not be allowed to modify the icons in anyway nor will you have the permission to use them as much as you like but with professional icon collections, you can use the images as many times and in any project as you deem fit.
Usability: Commercial stock icons will usually contain quite a few graphics to suit all your programming and website design needs but with free icons even if you do find fairly good graphics, they cannot be found easily which means that you will not be able to incorporate them in your applications.
