Editability of Flat Icons

Slide Content

The slide titled "Editability of Flat Icons" displays the versatility of flat icons in design, suggesting they can be easily modified to fit different visual contexts. Three examples are provided. The first example demonstrates how the color of flat icons, such as map shapes, can be changed to create contrast or highlight specific regions. The second example shows a cogwheel icon's color variation, implying icons can be adapted to match branding or design themes. The third example illustrates icons on a dark background, endorsing the icons' flexibility across various background settings, reinforcing their adaptability and ease of use.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is white, providing a neutral canvas for the content.
• At the top, the slide title is in black, prominently placed for visibility.
• There are three sets of paired images to demonstrate the editability concept:
  • The first pair features a map of Europe in blue with an arrow leading to the same map with one country highlighted in purple, depicting color customization.
  • The second set shows a cogwheel user icon in green transitioning to orange, demonstrating color change.
  • The third set shows a user cogwheel icon in white and orange against a dark blue background, highlighting visibility on contrasting backgrounds.
• Each set includes a brief descriptive phrase below the images explaining the change:
  • "Change color by changing Filling color"
  • "Can be used also on dark backgrounds"
• The descriptive phrases are on two parallelogram shapes with a 3D effect, one in light gray and one in dark blue providing visual contrast.
• Arrows between paired icons indicate transformation or the process of change, assisting in guiding the viewer's eye across the slide.

The slide uses a clean and minimalist design to effectively convey the message of icon versatility. The use of arrows and contrast in graphic elements guides the viewer's understanding of how icons can be adapted for various design needs.
