Don’t be afraid to create your own icons: The beginner’s guide
<p>From the beginnings of operating systems, icons have been an integral part of users’ journey, helping them navigate the depths of the complex systems that surround them.</p>
<p>If you would have asked me five years ago if I could draw even the simplest icon, the answer would probably be <strong>NO</strong>. It’s not that I couldn’t, I was just too afraid to try. Designers tend to think that drawing an icon requires a lot of effort, experience, and knowledge, but doing so is a lot simpler than they think.</p>
<p>If you are asking yourself why you should put your time into it, the short answer is <strong>because you</strong> <strong>can,</strong> and the long one is that icons make a big impact even though they are small. Not only do icons bridge over a language barrier, but they can also grab users' attention when needed, help users navigate your product, and make better decisions. They also contribute to the overall look and feel. You wouldn’t want other designers to set the tone for your designs, so why let anyone else set the tone for your icons?</p>
<p>Besides, product designers nowadays need to enlarge their toolbox constantly, and drawing icons is definitely a great tool.</p>
