Designing Effective Icons 5
This section presents some basic guidelines for designing effective icons.
Remember that all your icon designs must work in the context of a Newton

build on this theme and diverge from it as little as possible. You must also
consider other important facets of the Newton interface described here when
you’re designing icons.
