Project Implementation

While creating the project we must have knowledge about user interfaces, HTML, CSS, javascript, and other elements of web development. Icons are of basically three types: universal, conflicting and unique. The universal icon is considered to be somehow the same for example; clock, stopwatch, etc. The conflicting icons have different meanings from there icon such as an arrow is used to represent forward in chat-based applications. The unique icons are meant to do some specific work and are designed uniquely by the developers. 

Let's have a look at the steps of the project.

• Get familiar with the subject you want to create an icon on. The icon should be relevant to the subject as it must not confuses the users. Understanding the subject is very important because that's how you will know about what to do next?

• Break the idea of the icon into figures such as rectangles circles, triangles, etc. The different figures will help in creating the icon better. Use your own creativity to make a unique and intriguing icon.
• Use the tools of UI/UX applications to draw your icon on. The base of the applications will give you a canvas to work upon. The canvas may consist of many pixels where you can create different shapes, shadows, etc. 
• After creating your icon, you must test it well. It is said that you must be first satisfied with your work so that others can like it too. Test it by linking the icon with your web application which you have created earlier with the help of HTML and CSS.
• You can also create different icons on the webpage itself. In the web application, the icons will act as a button that will take the user on a different web page. All the buttons are properly linked with web pages. These icons can act as a guide on the webpage that will make it easier for the user.
