Web 2.0 style buttons
Nowadays Web 2.0 style becomes more popular. Every day tons of sites which has simple, bright and very interesting things, appear in Network. There are no standards about creating any Web 2.0 elements, but we have several typical features, for example and clean colors, many gradients.
Today I want to show you how to create Web 2.0 styled button using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
- Open the Photoshop, create new document for the button.
- Create shape for future button using Rounded Rectangle tool on toolbar, specify round radius.
- Right click on rectangle layer in Layers palette, choose Blending Options.
- Set the Gradient Overlay effect parameters. I have following color of first and second thumb: 434343, third – 000000.
- You can find Stroke effect parameters below. Stroke color is 363636.
- Set the Inner Glow effect options.
- As the result you will get following image:
- Create rectangle using Rounded Rectangle tool, it will be used as button glare.
- Right click on “glare” layer, choose Rasterize Layer.
- Click Edit in Quick Mask Mode on toolbar.
- Choose Gradient Tool, create gradient like following:
- After leaving quick mask mode, you will get selection area. Click Delete button.
- Add layer with text “Entries RSS” and RSS icon. Set Drop Shadow effect parameters.
Now you got following button:
After changing different effects parameters, adding or changing elements, I got following buttons:

I love web 2.0, and I don’t wanna be a jerk… but I’d like to point out that the web 2.0 style is very closely related (in fact, almost a copy of) apple’s “Aqua” interface style.

Really nice button, but it’d be more web 2.0 if it had a reflection at the bottom.

Oh! So these nice shiny thingies are called web 2.0
I alwasys believed that web 2.0 is some kind of system of more advanced and interective web services and Rich Internet applications that use SOAP, AJAX and REST etc.
Posted on 2006-11-27 at 12.28 am
IMNSHO, we should not split this web-2.0 phenomenon to parts like design, technologies, etc. I think everybody agree that design changes were inspired by technologies and technologies became so popular because of great implementations with great design.

Buttons look great, but the tutorial is really hard to follow unless your a photoshop expert.
Posted on 2006-11-27 at 1.36 am
Any chance you can upload this action or styles for download. I’m a bit stuck on 12 - but don’t have CS2, which could be the problem.
Posted on 2006-11-27 at 3.20 am
Yeah steps 11 & 12 are hard to follow. Where do you find quick mask mode?
Posted on 2006-11-27 at 3.46 am
Brandon: Quick mask mode button placed right under the color selection box in toolbar. Another way to enter/leave quick mask mode is to press “Q” button on your keyboard.

What the hell does this have to do with Web 2.0?

Posted on 2006-11-28 at 8.24 pm
For the glare layer why rasterize it? All you have to do is click Add Layer Mask on the rounded rectangle shape, apply the gradient with the Gradient Tool and then lower the opacity of that layer. This way you can tweak the shape of the glare without having to redo the layer every single time. We who use Photoshop everyday know destructive editing is not a recommended method.

The article became very popular, and there are a lot of people digged it. But many people asked to upload PSD sources of buttons presented in article, because of hardship with Photoshop. Here you can find PSD files and use them without any restrictions anywhere. […]

Posted on 2006-11-29 at 1.46 am
I don’t like how you leave out a lot of smaller details or show better examples. You could have also explained to those who are not too familiar with the font selection what font you used and what if any layer styles were used on said font.
Posted on 2006-11-29 at 4.16 am
I used Verdana 16 pt font for all of those buttons.
About minor details - we are not children. Do I want to teach you Photoshop? No! Do I want to show, how to create something cool things using this tool? Yes! Article (and most of others in this blog) supposed that you have some experience with Adobe products. I’m apologise for this, but I don’t like articles like “move your mouse to main menu at the top of window and click ‘File’ item”. Be smarty!
PEACE

Не пойму, почему ЭТО называется “стилем Web 2.0″? По-моему это “тяжелый”, чисто американский стиль, а-ля Windows Vista… Ну а Web 2.0 — это не визуальный стиль, а тенденции в развитии технологий интернета.
Posted on 2006-11-29 at 8.06 pm
2SLA80: Попрошу заметить, что висты не было тогда, когда все это придумали… Как выше заметили, это - аква от маков. Вот только признайте, что видя страницу с таким оформлением, вы невольно отнесете ее к “новому вебу” в отличие от сайта амазона, который как ни крути - 100% non web 2.0.
Posted on 2006-11-29 at 8.51 pm
Вот это понравилось больше всего. Можете показать пример “легкого отечественного стиля”? Не знаю как у вас, но лично у меня возникает стойкое впечатление легкости и стиля при виде сайтов, которые принято относить к Web 2.0.
Насчет того, что Веб 2.0 - это не визуальный стиль, обратите внимание, что легко можно отличить на глаз новый модный сайт от любого старого (как и отметил Scoundrel). Ради хохмы наберите в Google web 2.0 style, думаю будете сильно удивлены количеством статей.
От себя могу порекомендовать следующие статьи
Они как раз и в топе гугла. Для общего развития можете и остальное посмотреть.

I’m keen to include web 2.0 styles buttons I have from photoshop however don’t really want to lose the flexibility of text (e.g. changing the text, multiple languages supports - don’t need to have multiple images)
Would someone be able to clarify whether there is an “Image Overlay on Text with CSS” approach regarding the displaying of dynamic text within an image?
If yes, how is this accomplished? Is it based on HTML 4.0 “Button”? Is the idea to slice up the image (say a button) that you want so you can then use DIV’s to have the edges of the cutup image grow/shrink depending on the size of the dynamic text?

I’m also having problem with steps 11 / 12, I did everything as suggested but no result. When you are ask to create a gradient after entering Quick Mask Mode, do we create the gradient on a new layer or on the “glare” layer. It would be good to have a video tutorial
Anyway the buttons you did are great, i like the look.

Just FYI: it also works with Photoshop 6 but the PSD files take a huge amount of RAM to open. Better to learn how to do it myself I say. Great tutorial. Thank you.

Really nice tutorial !
Always nice to see someone who can clearly describe a process clearly to the point, without getting lost by adding too many fringes.
Congrats!
On a separate note:
I personally have a big problem with this whole Web2.0 HYPE …
Web 2.0 is just another way of saying ‘I’m a developer, I can’t design for days, so let’s call my limited creative skills a standard, and all of a sudden I can sell myself as hot again’.
The only other thing those people need now is a pre-fabricated step-by-step tutorial on how to clone the “37signals style of page layout”, and that’ll then totally suck out every little bit of identity and individuality.
It used to be ‘form and function’, now it’s ‘uniform as function’.
Compliance has been replaced with complacency.
Mediocrity becomes the new standard.

I can follow the instruction until step 12!
When i leave the Quick Edit Mode, there is a rectancle selection, but then you write “delete button”.
When i delete the Layer “Button” the hole button disapears. Where exactly should this “Delete Button” should be?
Please help

[…] Now, perhaps I’ve completely lost the plot here, but how does this have anything whatsoever to do with pointless design trends? Sure, we must start thinking about new and more efficient methods of human-computer interaction, but I think somewhere along the line a miscommunication has occurred. It’s quotes such as the following that are deeply troubling; Nowadays Web 2.0 style becomes more popular. Every day tons of sites which has simple, bright and very interesting things, appear in Network. There are no standards about creating any Web 2.0 elements, but we have several typical features, for example and clean colors, many gradients. — IRIS Design […]

very cool button.thanks

Great tutorial thanks so much. Got a abit lost at step 4 though with “Set the Gradient Overlay effect parameters. I have following color of first and second thumb: 434343, third – 000000.” I’m no expert but I couldn’t work out what you meant by “first and second thumb: 434343, third – 000000.”
If you have a moment to explain that I’d be very appeciative.
Kind regads,

Спасибо за урок.

hey,
thanks for taking the time to put this together…..but i’m having a problem …..I get all the way to #11 and that is where i start having trouble. I click the quick edit mask mode …and then i click on the gradient tool, then drag it down so that it looks similar to yours but when i go back to edit in standard mode after i click delete it doesn’t look like yours……what could i possibly be doing wrong ….
