Improve the Look of Your Projects with Vista Stock Icons


by Garry Pearson

Many software and web designers do not place enough importance in making their projects aesthetically pleasant and user-friendly enough. With any program, icons are an essential part of the overall appearance. Due to this, it is crucial to have good quality icons which are professionally made, giving your projects the professional look that they need. Stock icons are a good option, especially for developers who need to save time and cash rather than drawing the icons themselves. On the other side, having icons professionally drawn specifically for your projects can be very expensive and is often not worth the amount of cash spent. By contrast, stock icons can often provide you with everything that you want to get the best results without having to go over budget.

Vista Stock Icons is an extensive set of icon collections which allow designers to get the professional icons that they need at a better price than many alternatives. Since the icons are offered in both raster and vector formats, they are also highly versatile. They are also modern in design and appearance, blending in beauitfully with any modern software and the newest Windows operating systems. All of the icons are also available in a number of different color depths and resolutions, so there is something for any situation. With full use of the alpha channel, the icons are extremely sleek in appearance, with antialiasing and transparency for seamless integration with your projects. Ready-made stock icons are also in ideal way of getting your program released sooner without having to compromise on quality.

As any software designer knows, a program’s source code is very important and the Vista Stock Icons accommodate this by also offering vector sources in Adobe Illustrator 10 format. Since they are vector graphics, they can be blown up to any size without any jagged edges or lowering of quality. You can use these in media such as brochures or leaflets, regardless of the size requirements of the graphics. You can also blow up the size of the vector images and then easily convert them into a raster format which only takes a matter of a few clicks.

There are also many useful extras for those who buy any of the Vista Stock Icons selections. An icon editor, AWicons Pro, is also offered as a special bonus. The icon collections are being often updated and added to as well, so keep looking back for more. The collections are already very expansive, each one containing many, many icons. The collections are also categorized, so you can easily find the icons that you need. It is also possible to buy individual icons rather than paying for a full set if you don’t require so many icons. The icons available all come in various formats as well as resolutions, color depths and various states (selected, deselected, disabled and normal).
