Usability Quote of the Day

Ironically, the thing that will likely make the least improvement in the ease of use of software-based products is new technology. There is little difference technically between a complicated, confusing program and a simple, fun, and powerful product. -- Alan Cooper, The Inmates are Running the Asylum, p. 15.   (via interaction-design.org)

Stock Icon Design

The development of an icon can be a deep process of applying personal knowledge, corporate context, and skilled labor towards the creation of something the user will see and interact with and that will drive her experience with an application.

The ubiquity of visual symbols associated with particular Web interactions or content has lead to a growth of stock icon offerings. Icon designers utilize icon semiotics to package common representations as ready-to-use sets for Web development and design teams. Some of the best examples include:

Stock Icons
Icon Base
Icon Buffet
Icon Kits

User Interface Display
