METHODOLOGY FOR CREATING CONSISTENT AND FLEXIBLE ICONS FOR THE USER INTERFACE

Grigoriev V.

Icons are one of the constituent elements of the user interface of any web product. The effectiveness of using an icon is determined primarily by how quickly a person understands what exactly is hidden behind a given icon, as well as how quickly a person makes associations between an image and functionality. The article "Methods for creating consistent and flexible icons for the user interface" describes the need and benefits of using icons in the interface. This article explores different styles of icons and an approach to their development that takes into account visual design, functionality, and brand compliance. The author's method of creating sets of icons that will look uniform and easily perceived by the user is proposed. This technique will be useful for UI creators, brand developers, and design system designers.
