You've linked to animated download buttons. Are you being serious?
- simonklitj 7y agoWhat's wrong with it being a download button? Does it have to be a "Cancel" or "Yes" button for the example to apply? But sure, they're animated. I'm referring to the design of the buttons, not the animations. Try this on for size: https://dribbble.com/shots/5915773-Unlock-calls https://dribbble.com/shots/5915773-Unlock-calls I don't get this obsession with Skeumorphism. IMO it's not a good look and should be left in the 2000's.
- Angostura 7y agoThe very word 'button' is is a skeuomorphism referring to a physical object. There is nothing wrong with visual cues hinting at a physical button if you are going to call the object a button.
- indymike 7y agoA lot of hate for skeumorphism comes from using ux that resemble or preserve obsolete physical objects. Like floppy disks, corded desk phones, flip phones or analog clocks. Buttons are great. We still press lots of them every day.
- fortydegrees 7y agoButtons are for pressing, not for displaying information.
- neogodless 7y agoPersonally, I find that animated buttons scream "ads" to me. And animated "download" buttons scream "malware ads"!
