Creating the graphics for a project is probably the most fun and rewarding for me, but if I am going to break my time budget, it will almost always be in this area. I am not alone. It seems, though, that the secret for many of us lies in gathering a wealth of shapes, concepts and outlines as reference and inspiration.
Dingbats can be a useful tool for prompting creativity and reducing creation time.
Dingbat shapes offer a partially formed canvas for designers to experiment with layout and graphic concepts. They are perfect for navigation bar outlines or components, section identifying visual marks, page dividers and texture backgrounds. Some designers use dingbats often in logo design. Dingbats are low priced, easy to access and versatile. Any graphic designer already has the software to create graphics from a dingbat font.
