Bevel and Glow Porn

I'm saving all these wonderful screenshots from dribbble.com. While I prefer more minimalist graphics, there's something absolutely beautiful about interfaces that render controls with total realism. The thing that makes all of these graphics realistic are the bevels--they create tight parting lines between the controls, which gives the interface such a nice tactile fit and finish. It makes me want to design an iPhone or iPad app when I see this sexy stuff. I'm also really digging the glow effect too. Check out my old blog post about textures.
