Icons

There's a lot of great things to be said about icons. When used properly, these graphic symbols can solve interface problems, guide users, give instructions and even convey feelings and emotions. And more:

• Icons are great visual elements for communication, and enable you to guide users through your interface, app, website, product you name it. Many icons are part of day-to-day activities for wide ranges of people, which means that they are already familiar with the message and instruction that specific icons convey.
• They allow you to cross language and cultural barriers, thanks to the shared meaning they carry. The "save button is a good example, but there's plenty other cases where using a symbol instead of words is more likely to send your message across. This is particularly helpful in two main scenarios. First, when you're working on a project that involves a global, or anyway multilingual, audience. Second, when you're short of space-think, for example, of when you design an interface that will be used on screens of different sizes.
• They also help to further your brand. Some of the most common icons you'll see are for social media packs. You can incorporate icons into your work to follow in the footsteps of your favorite brands and propel your own identity to make sure it's remembered by your audience.
• And finally, icons add flair to your professional designs. Using icons for your personal websites or incorporating them into print templates will instantly add personality and help shape the style of your creative projects.
