A simple way to load a sprite into your game is to use the Resources.Load() method. Essentially you create a “Resources” folder in the route of your project folder and anything you store within there can be loaded using that method.

An example of the file structure would be:

-Root
–Resources
—Sprites
----UiImage.png

to get “UiImage. png” you would do the following :

Image.sprite = Resources.Load(Sprites/UiImage.png);

Hope that helps.
