Common misconception
It is quicker to create a pictogram by hand than trying to create one on a computer.
When creating a pictogram on a computer, it is much quicker and the pictures will be uniform in appearance. Working on a computer also has the benefit of being able to make changes quickly and easily without having to redo the entire pictogram.
