what is the best for design full icons and images sprite for big site.. before UI Development or after ?

---

I don't believe that this is programming-related for one second, however I'd suggest that the best time for designing the icons and images for a site would be the same time at which the UI is being designed, since the icons/images have to fit the general aesthetic of the site itself.

Obviously this is only the initial design (and don't be afraid to amend, revise, re-design later) but it seems a mistake to think of icons and UI separately as distinct entities, rather than...symbiotic, maybe?
