From A to B

Liebe THS-Leser, heute früh bin ich über diesen recht lesenswerten Artikel gestolpert: Common elements used in interface button design.

Buttons and navigational elements are quite possibly the most commonly used interface objects in both desktop and mobile design. They pull an interface together, allowing users to get from A to B in a single click. Most importantly, a button has to look good. It has to scream “Click me!,” or else it simply won’t be as effective as it needs to be. Buttons are commonly used to “”Search,” “Submit,” “Send,” “Buy” and “Upload.” In this article, we’ll look at seven common button elements in modern interface design: textures, patterns, 3-D, pixel-perfect strokes, indented backgrounds, glows and highlights. You’ll find 35 fantastic examples of these techniques as well as a handful of mini-tutorials for Photoshop.

Ein reich bebilderter Beitrag. Man kann sehr gut mal kurz drüberscannen.
