Icons are integrated into different graphical users interface. These are small images of quality resolution that perfectly represent the actions, objects, and other sorts of concepts. Also, the icons are mentioned as a graphical user interfaces. These are quicker solution to make a faster interface with computer programs. Icons are portraying by common elements, so that users can get faster interface with the programs. These icons are considered as the faster way to interface a program.


These icons are originally introduced in 1970 by the Xerox Research Center, Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows System. By using the icons, users can get unexpected advantages such as quicker learning and faster accessing of program. The icons are used to supplement or replace the text messages. The icons are commonly evolved for using in menus, toolbars, and buttons. You can avail assortment shape and sizes of icons. So, you can easily use the required size of icons in your programs.

As rule of thumb, the icons are the square pictograms, which come in many standard color and sizes resolutions. Most of the platforms support the icon sizes of 16 * 16 – 128 * 128 pixels, whereas a few platforms willingly accept the icon images as big as 512 * 512 pixels. Big 512 * 512 pixel were used first in the Mac OS Leopard. The pixel resolutions of different icons are the platform dependent.

You will better understand the entire process of icons building or designs and all about the user interfaces since the 80’s up to now through focus on the evolution. It is also much harder to get rid of the emotion that the deal of icon building that was hardly designs through the engineering science that suitable for advanced operating system like the Windows XP and Mac OS X. In this regard, it has been the draw of the sign that was respected rather than lucidity and legibility. The main reasons behind this process are that the software designers can’t leave icons the in displeased prospect. So, all the terms in the interface could be restored by more lucid pictures. In the year of 85 Apple was suggested that the designers to replace dedication with pictograms in all cases as soon as possible. So, it is clear that the approach was never success enough. We are very lucky to have the light in darkness of the creative freedom. It is the book written on brink of epochs, at 1994, at an end of era of the icon building science also before an era of the icon building fine art.


It is “Icon Book” by Horton William and it is my suggestion to read that to everybody who deals with the icon design and is interested in a topic. Horton analyzes mechanism of the perception of the icons by user, classifies methods of the visual depiction of these ideas, teaches formalizing grammar rules for the visual languages as well as shares the experience of the organization of work. Nothing has now become obsolete in a course of twelve years. Steve Jobs said that the interface must be very attractive that you would like to give that a lick.

Among all computer graphics programs the Rater graphics is a data structure that represent usually rectangular grid of pixels, point of color and viewable via a monitor. Raster images can be stored in image files with varying file formats. A bitmap is a format that is used for storage in the display’s video memory. It is technically characterized by the height of the image in pixels by the number of bits per pixel. It can also represent a color depth which determines the number of color. In the printing industry raster graphics is also known as Contones. The word raster has been come from the Latin word. It is originally refers to the video monitors which paint the image by magnetically steering a focused electron beam. In other term it also refers to a rectangular grid of pixels. The raster graphics can scale up to an arbitrary resolution without loss of apparent quality.


Word “raster” has the origins in Latin rastrum (rake) that is been derived from the radere (scrape). It referred originally to raster scan of the cathode ray tube video monitors that paint an image by line and by magnetically steering the focused electron beam. And by association, it came to refer to the rectangular grid of the pixels. See rastrum, the device to draw the musical staff lines.


The raster graphics are the resolution dependent and they will not scale up to the arbitrary resolution with no loss of the apparent quality. The property has with capabilities of the vector graphics that very easily scale to a quality of device rendering. The raster graphics deal practically than the vector graphics with the photographs and the photo realistic images, whereas the vector graphics serve much better for typesetting and for the graphic design.
