[Graphic] 300 images from 1800 sites

옥양생각 '^';; _ 
다양한 그래픽 아이콘들을 주제별로 모아놨음!!   


사실 요런거 만들기는 작아서 짜증나고 -_-;;
또 인터넷으로 찾자니 잘 안나오고 그런거~ㅎㅎ
인터넷 서핑의 서핑을 거듭하여 만난 사이트!!
그러나, 영어가 딸려 내용은 잘읽지 않음..ㄷㄷ;;
이미지 저장할려고보니 왕창 묶여있고... 음.. 난 잘 모르겠어~;; 


나름, 필요한 사이트라 생각될꺼임;;;; '0';;

Arrows

Most sites using arrows to help graphically enhance their text use one of three things: 1) They use a simple, solid-colored arrow. 2) They have decided to use the angled-quote character ( » ) in some variation or another. 3) They use the > symbol. I did not include any of these abundant examples.
Pictured below are some of the exceptions to the rule. Although I did encounter duplicate styles, I tried to include only one of each variation regardless of color or size.

A quick sidebar about arrows: There has been some discussion and debate [2] [3] about 'breadcrumb trails'. DesignInteract.com is the first site that I've seen to use arrows facing in the opposite direction to help orient the user within the levels of the site. It was like I was looking at a breadcrumb trail for the first time!

Posts

Although quite popular on the blog style of web site, I was surprised at how frequently I encountered these nifty icons on large corporate sites. In the later case, they were typically used to notate a link to a published article.

Comments

You'd think that all of these would be found on blog style web sites to denote reader contributions to its conversation thread. In at least a couple of instances on large sites, the comment icon was used to help prompt a user to submit a quality-assurance feedback form.

Mail

The mail icons typically have three separate uses: either to identify contactual information, or to suggest mailing the page to a friend, or as a link to a mailing list sign-up form. The style of graphic (front of envelope, back of envelope, or 'speeding' envelope) didn't seem to have any consistent meaning in the three usage cases.

Bullets

Most of the sites I visited used bullets; However, most of the bullets were typical circles, squares, or dots. I did not include any examples of those common bullets. Sharp, small, innovative images for bullets are much more rare than I would have ever thought — I was only able to spot a few.

Print

The only places that I found these icons used were the online news sources. Almost all of the article pages offered some sort of 'printable' format, although most of the sites opted for a text link. I don't care for the way most of them look, and that might explain why many of the pages use a text link instead of a graphic. I suppose that the main trouble with a print icon is that you can't deviate too much while still maintaining the integrity of the icon's function.

Carts And Bags

These images are all from major online retailers, not fly-by-night sites. You're not imagining anything; all of the shopping cart images look terrible! Conversely, all of the shopping bag images look pretty swell. Perhaps it's easier to manipulate 200 pixels into the shape of a bag than a cart, huh?
Although all of the retailers used text in their 'cart' links, about half of them did not use any icon at all.
GUESS?, Inc. is the only online retailer to try this nifty idea of incorporating the number of items in the cart into the actual image space.
