Using a drop shadow enhances the resizing effect when the button is clicked on.

If you click on the lower-right rectangular button it will change to

I think his stuff is quite creative, and usually looks very sophisticated until he takes it apart to reveal the simple parts he made it from. Although no where near his league, a few videos of his I watched inspired me to take a swing at it myself :P

A crystal set of buttons I made from actual buttons, but not using the more complicated original tutorial I had found which made them from graphics objects.
