Well, it’s been some time since I last posted anything so I guess I will share this with anyone that is even slightly interested. Recently, I have been playing with Flash learning how it works etc. Pretty cool program actually. Anyway, I am thinking about making a little flash game for my 6 year old daughter and have been contemplating all the assets I will need to actually pull it off, e.g. mostly the graphics. With that in mind I have been browsing around reading and watching tutorials on various things. One of the tutorials I watched was about making buttons for various uses. The guy was using Photoshop (another great program) and was going through all kinds of gyrations with gradients and layers etc just to create a 3D look. It did look good, but man what a lot of time and effort to make a button. So, I got an idea on how to make those cool looking buttons with a LOT LESS messing around. Here is what a few of my ideas look like. Now, I want you to realize these are just some ideas for button styles that I came up with in two days. It is more of a proof of concept than anything else. Feel free to comment on them or even toss out an idea of your own. After I figure out how to put these somewhere where people can actually see how the rollovers look and stuff, I will post again. On an aside, I want to test this BlogSurfer.us thing.
EDIT:
As promised I have put these buttons on a site where you can see them in action. CLICK HERE.
