The Principle of Selecting the Best Avatars for Your Users
Forums, bulletins, messaging platforms, chat rooms, and all manner of social media and social networking sites use people icons to attract and keep users. It is critical to not be careless about this bit. Avatars are your users’ anchor to your site or app?it is figuratively themselves in the online realm.
The key idea behind all successful web tools and apps is design meets functionality. The user’s experience will determine whether they come back or not, whether they continue using your service. Your avatar list is a big part of this.
The more options you give your users to express their individual personalities and preferences, the more they will be invested in your site.
This collection of avatar icon sets should give you an invaluable go-to resource for everything to represent the diverse spectrum of people on the Internet.
