Some Background
 
2016 brought a lot of changes into the world of Web Design. New trends and styles came about, and we were introduced to new tools and softwares, but one thing remained the same - the market is just as competitive as it was before.
 
Designers, independent vendors and companies are constantly improving the quality of their products and services, and to stay relevant, we have to keep up with the pace of industrial development.
 
In our modern world, it’s extremely important to have good-quality assets that you can use at any time to enrich your projects. That’s why purchasing and collecting icon sets, mockups, templates, etc is such a crucial task for any designer.
 
They can be of tremendous help in difficult times. They can help when you lack motivation or inspiration. They can fasten the design process and help you meet the deadline. They can even be an advantage on your resume.
 
Predesigned work assets help us improve our work and it would be a shame not to use them.
 
What Are Pre-designed Work Assets?
 
A pre-designed work asset is basically an element or a collection of elements that you can use to build your projects without having to design them from scratch. They’re like pieces that you can put together to create stunning and beautiful designs much more quickly and effectively.
 
One of the most popular work assets that almost every designer uses are Vector Icon Sets. They usually come in packs of 100, 150, 300, or 500 icons per collection. They come in many different styles to match the needs of designers all over the world.
 
Vector Icon sets are usually used for web, ui/ux and mobile design to build interactive and personalized interfaces.
 
Even if you’re not a designer, you certainly have an idea of what an icon is. We encounter them on a regular basis everywhere we look.
 
We can find icons on TV, phones, computers, consoles, and many other digital and even printed products.
 
How to Choose the Right Icons for Your Projects.
 
When it comes to choosing the right icons for his projects, every designer has his own ways of doing so. Some designers like line-based vector icons that fit almost any mobile or web application. They are simple and straight-forward, which smoothens the experience and makes the application visually appealing and intuitive.
 
Some designers like icons with backgrounds and colors and lots of details. They can be used to build a more personal connection between the brand and the customer, however, they have to be used carefully as it can be easily overdone, which can ruin the experience, hence drive away the customer completely.
 
It’s also worth remembering that icons can be designed specifically for a project. They can have a style that fits the web page or an application perfectly. However, these icons can be used only once. They are almost impossible to fit into any other project than the original one. So remember that having your designer create custom icons is a bold investment as you probably won’t be able to use them ever again.
 
Ultimately, when it comes to choosing the right icons for your work, you have to have a vision of the end-result project in mind and pick the vector collection accordingly. Not every icon fits every projects - it’s a principle that should always be remembered and applied.
 
What Makes for a Good Icon set?

 
The value of an icon set can be determined by a couple of things. The first thing is how many categories it covers. Then we have the overall number of icons is the set. The file formats in which the set is saved, and lastly, the aesthetics and quality of work done by the designer of this particular set.
 
1. The Vector Icon set should cover as many categories as possible. It should have all the major elements of the niche as well as the little less popular ones.
 
2. The vector icon set should have as many icons as possible in its overall number. This way, it gives the customer a lot of room and variety to choose from. However, providing your customers with a wide spectrum of possibilities is a delicate practice. If you give them too many options, they will be overwhelmed and won’t make any decision at all. That’s why it’s important to keep a healthy balance.
 
3. The Vector Icon Set should provide all most commonly used file formats. There should be Ai, PSD, PNG, SVG, EPS, etc. This way, the customer is provided with all the files that he will need for his projects. It saves him the trouble of creating them himself in Photoshop or Illustrator, which can positively affect the opinion on the merchant and the brand.
 
4. The Vector Icon Set should be done in high-end quality at all times. The files should be organized and documented accurately and intuitively to ensure smooth experience of the customer. The clipart should be designed with care and precision to fit the universal standards of quality. The customer satisfaction should be the most important thing for the merchant and providing high-quality products is a certain way to ensure it.
 
Which icons are included in the Education icon set?
 
As said there are 100 icons in the set. We won't name them all here, but to give you an idea, these are some of the illustrations:  Alphabet, Blackboard, Banana, Bulb, Book, Color, Coffee, Laptop, Notebook, Moleskine, Scissors, Student hat, Ruler, USB, Coffee, Wifi and a lot more.
 
What’s the Purpose of Icon Sets?
 
The purpose of an icon set in your projects is rather clear and straightforward. Icons are supposed to replace words and convey messages, and to represent ideas and concepts in a visual, hence simpler way.
 
Icon’s job is to make the process of understanding and learning the interface, webpage, or application faster, easier, and more intuitive.
 
The purpose of using icon sets is simple - to provide the designer with a collection of many images that he will be able to use to his advantage during the process of designing an app or a web page. It’s meant to make it easier and faster for him since he doesn’t have to create these assets from scratch himself. It saves him a lot of time and efforts since creating pixel-perfect vector icons can be a difficult and time-consuming task.
 
That’s why designers started coming up with pre-designed work assets such as icons sets to reduce the amount of time and effort that they need to put into a particular project.
 
We do not know the exact origins of icon sets, but we can speculate that it happened by pure accident and luck. Some designer had to design a few icons for his project, and he did. When another project came his way, he had to design a similar set, and he realized he could use the same one and save time and effort. So he did, and that’s how icons sets came to be.
 
However it all started, we certainly should be grateful to the person who came up with this brilliant idea. Probably without even realizing it, he changed the course of design world and created standards that make present designer's job much easier and pleasant.
 
Having pre-designed assets, especially icon sets, in our lives make them better and easier. Designers, engineers, developers, etc are all indefinitely thankful to the person who started this trend since it literally transformed their lives for the better.
 
Hope you have fun with the education icon set with all your projects related to colleges, universities and schools!
