One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

When designed well, icons support the layout without getting in the way. If you’re working on a food-related project, building every icon from scratch usually isn’t the best use of time.
