Photoshop: use gradients sparingly
Where would I be without Photoshop?
Flipping burgers, probably. I’ve spent years mastering the tool of my trade, and even today I’m still discovering cool new things in Photoshop.
Something that I love doing is creating interfaces, and this includes creating buttons. There has been a buzz in recent years with the whole “Web 2.0” thing, and user interfaces often looked shiny and modern. This was achieved, in part, with stunning graphics such as nice push buttons adorning the pages…
Now for a simple tip
Use gradients effectively. Gradients, when used subtly can look great. Try adding a small, light gradient to the top of your button to create that shine effect. Don’t go overboard and make sure you select the right colour – a lighter tone of the button colour is perfect.
