Additional Information
The 2016 design market is changing rapidly. New as well as seasoned players are constantly working to improve their brands, products, and themselves. Rapid growth of the industry is forcing people to work extremely hard in order to stay on top of the market expectations in terms of work quality, customer service, meeting deadlines, etc. All those who fail to keep up with the pace are bound to fall out of the loop and eventually go down.
On a more positive note, the competitiveness of our society greatly contributes to the development of science, business, and entrepreneurship all over the world. High expectations of the products and services mean high results, which slowly, but certainly expands our possibilities and capabilities.
Regardless of whether high demand in the world of business is a good or a bad thing, everyone who wishes to take part in it has to accept and adjust to the existing environment. Trying to go against the current, especially in times like this, would be a business suicide. That’s why it’s so important to constantly and continuously monitor the market that you partake in and adjust your business model to your market’s standards.
As we all know, visual design is an extremely broad discipline. There are dozens of branches and possible career paths, and that’s only going to become bigger in the future. Digital world is no longer a mere addition to our physical lives. It’s an inseparable part of present reality.
Designers who wish to be the creators of said reality must keep in mind that their dreams and hopes are not exclusive. There are plenty of people who would love to take their place or position, hence they must do everything in their power to stay ahead and keep their jobs.
One of the best ways to get and maintain an upper hand in the ever-evolving industry of visual design is gathering and learning to use pre-designed work assets such as UI kits, Icon packs, etc.
Although many designers who consider themselves more of an artist than a business person tend to reject these pre-designed work assets under the claim of it being uncreative and immoral. Their beliefs are limiting their potentials, which we can often see in a form of a “starving artist”. While some people think it’s noble to put ideals over profits, it is a waste not to actually use their skills to make a contribution to the world and society.
However, some designers, who can see the bigger picture tend to welcome the pre-designed work assets with open arms. They do not fail to realize that excellent work that improves the lives of people all over the world is far more important than their personal beliefs and ideals. They are constantly on the lookout for better, faster, and more efficient ways of producing high quality work.
These are the designers who really make the wheel spin. And it is them, not said “artists” who actually push the limits of visual design as an art.
It it is great importance to embrace the spirit of time and go with it, not against it. Traditional techniques are fundamentals, but as in any process of mastery, eventually one has to move on from fundamentals to more advanced and creative techniques if he wishes to transcend the craft and set a new threshold for other artists.
That’s why every visual designer who aspires to achieve extraordinary results should gather as many pre-designed work assets as possible and learn to use them to his advantage. Often, it is not skill or hard work of a designer that makes or breaks the project, but it’s the amount of assets and resources that he has at his call. More assets create more opportunities and ways to create something new, something stunning, something that will serve the customers in the best way possible.
The purpose of pre-designed work assets
The purpose of pre-designed work assets is rather clear and straight-forward. It is to replace the time-consuming and repetitive tasks by providing usable and customizable elements that can be used for multiple projects. One of the most commonly used work assets are Vector Icon Sets. They usually come in big packs of at least 100 icons. They cover niches and genres of life such as travel, education, science, design, devices, etc. Each niche usually has a few smaller subcategories that divide the icons even further.
Another extremely important purpose of pre-designed- work assets is establishing and maintaining consistency of the market. As humans, whilst using products and services, we develop mental patterns. Then, those patterns help us navigate future products and services better and more efficiently since they were created in a consistent way. Even if it is the first time we encounter a product, just because it’s consistent, we are able to intuitively use it and therefore, learn it faster.
Pre-designed work assets tend to maintain that consistency throughout all available products. They are done in similar styles, packages and documentations, which improves user experience by a lot. This way, we have a guideline, a standard to which all products can be compared and designed.
Of course, standards, just like everything, evolve over time. They change and morph, and disappear from the mainstream, however, having them in the world of design creates a certain harmony, even if they themselves are quite unstable and shifty. Said harmony allows for styles and guidelines to form, which significantly improves the quality of products that we create and our customers receive.
How to pick the right Icon set for your project.
Picking the right icon set can be and often is a tricky thing. Due to the large scale of digital markets, the spectrum of possibilities is enormous. These circumstances, while for seasoned designers are perfect since they can deal of being overwhelmed by choice, are quite uncomfortable for newbies and people who are not designers themselves.
Too much choice can be bad thing, especially for inexperienced entrepreneurs and business people. That’s why it’s extremely important to know how to find yourself in this chaos and pick icons that will not only look aesthetic and professional, but also serve their intended function.
The value of an icon set can be determined by many things. However, the most important of these are: the scale of the set, quality of work, how much it covers the niche, and how compatible is it with your style guide.
1. The scale of the set should be between 100 - 200 icons. It is believed to be the perfect number since it provides enough variety while still not overwhelming the customer with too much choice. This specific amount of icons should be more than fine to provide you with the icons that you need for your projects without paying for stuff that you won’t later use at all.
2. The quality of work should be a very important aspect to take into account when buying a set of icons. Before making the purchase, make sure that the icons are designed the best they can be, that the documentation and file organization is on point, and that the aesthetics fit your project.
3. Before making the purchase, make sure that you are buying the icons that you actually need and want. A lot of people make the mistake of buying sets that seem perfect but then later disappoint them due to the fact that the set doesn’t have the specific icons they needed. It’s crucial for the icon set to cover as many important aspect of the niche so that every customer may find something for himself.
4. Last thing you should consider before buying is the overall style of the icons. This product can be designed in many different ways and you have to make sure that it the particular set you intend to buy fits the product you want to create.
