My designer friend and I are laughing so hard at this that we're crying.
In all seriousness, this is the perfect tool for showing people how skeumorphism can be taken too far. I actually like many of these designs, but the point is that the metaphors don't actually help, and sometimes only add to the confusion. (Denim weather app? Pea coat button loops for on/off switches?)
- RandallBrown 14y agoIn all fairness, lots of these are just people on Dribbble flexing their photoshop muscles. The peacoat on off switch wouldn't be great in your app (unless you're selling peacoats or something) but it still looks kinda cool.
- MartinCron 14y agoThe peacoat on/off switch is causing a lot of cognitive dissonance in me right now. It's so pointless, but so adorable. I want to make a peacoat-related app just to have an excuse to use it.
- panic 14y agoI want to see how it would animate!
- MartinCron 14y agoIt turns out that I don't know my garment lingo well enough. That kind of closure on a coat is called a "toggle" so it's a sort of visual pun.
