This is the second GUi im working on, here's a volume knob and something Im calling a ribbon button. The idea behind the button is you slide the ribbon to the function then click go. Would love to know your thoughts :)
I love this, but I interpret the wear signs as notches/tick marks having to do with calibration. Perhaps there is another way to distress the aesthetic.
The wear marks make it look more like stone than old plastic. I understand that the worn look is kind of the whole idea behind this particular GUI and perhaps seeing more would provide better context, but I think it would look better without the wear.
is this something you are supposed to do with a mouse or is this touch-based?
the ribbon button would be really annoying with a mouse. It's just more natural to click what you want. People don't have the patience for that online ;)
Looking sexy as always though. I would suggest some surface scratches or something to add to the worn look.
Fingers dont sound too bad for this kind of use. Looking at this again, I would suggest that you ease up on the shadows on the ribbon a bit. It looks like it has very large arches and bends to it.
Yeah alden it's supposed to, if you check out my other works my style is to try and make the elements rise off the screen. It's just my style prob's not everyone's cup of tea but I like the effect :)
Ahh. I follow you and see all of your stuff. You have a very unique, great style. Just thought for how short the ribbon is, it looks a bit overly wavy, even for you ;)
Slider is a really nice idea. The kind of thing my "overly focussed on usability" boss would say - "but look how much interaction is required just to follow an hyperlink" (ignore him, i love it!) lol :)

I think it's kind of confusing that both knobs have the same wear signs. Maybe try different ones for each of them?
But I like the overall look.

It's a tablet ui, so the idea is you would use your fingers, I'll work on scuffing it up some more.

I would try to highlight the up/down arrows. Maybe blue?

Very nice! Maybe just make the cracks on the large knob a little more jagged. At first glance they look like increments marked off and not cracks.
