Showcase of Skeuomorphism in iPad Interface Design
Love it or hate it, skeuomorphism has been a popular tool in digital interface design since the birth of the GUI. Following Apple’s own use of skeuomorphism, interface designers have created some visually stunning apps for iOS devices that mimic various features of analogue technology. This post showcases 30 fantastic examples of iPad interface designs based on real life objects, from retro synthesizers to wire bound notebooks.

Awesome :O
They look really horrible and hard to use. Let's hope this will serve future designers as a negative example.
Yes, they look very kopleksno. But it's all a matter of habit. The taste is not discussed … just a comment … :).
But retro is very nice and has a … and for the fans of this technique is this refreshment … congratulations masters.
Simply beautiful and attractive.
Awesome!
Awesome skin, thanks alot, this is what I've been searching for.
Extremely horrible and useless IMHO.
My favourite had to be the CDJ PADMUSICUIX by Petithomme Greg. Nice job.
I'm disappointed with some people's comments. It's seemingly very "hip" to hate skeuomorphism right now – please don't just jump on the bandwagon and label these designs "horrible" or "useless" just because Apple have binned off Scott Forstall. Think for yourselves.
I have nothing against it. It looks pretty.
But beyond that these on-screen pseudo-knobs have never been useful in the 15 years I've tried them on various applications with mouse, touch, or otherwise.
Just buy a real mixer made out of real hardware.
Skeuomorphism always feels a bit pointless to me, especially with DJ things, in real life you're limited by physical space etc. digital is a chance to do it differently rather than just make a virtual CD deck. Have to say Rockmate looks like fun though.
great post

Awesome, Awesome !!
While I agree that excessive use of skeumorphism may clutter an interface and make the overall UX a bit sluggish, I feel like most mediocre designers are hyping against skeumorphic designs because they lack the skill to create them.
<p>i like your blog thanks for sharing.</p>
