ICONS

The User eXperience (UX) Design is =>

  • SIZE: the approximate size of the user's fingertip*
  • LABELING: constrained by the size of the Icon - AND - the "picture" is meant to be "learned" as an identification clue, a 'character' (we do not "read" by spelling out each word, we recognize the words by their 'shape')

* computers are a slightly different UX philosophy - the size of the "pointer" is not a factor, but Icon learning still applies

How = you can't change the size of icons or text labels on your iPad's screen because Apple did not design them to be changed for the reasons I explained


LEARN the look of the pictures BY DOING and soon the sight of the icon will BE LIKE READING a word or recognizing a Stop Sign - the size is "just right" for your FINGERTIP, which is all that matters to the function of the device
