Claymorphism
Puffy 3D color chunks with inner and outer soft shadows, toy-like.
What it feels like
Like play-doh buttons — fat corners, candy colors, soft chunks floating on their own.
Why it works
Toy energy lowers the guard for consumer products; inner/outer shadows make each piece feel pick-up-able.
How to tell AI
Claymorphism: oversized soft 3D chunks, multi-layer inner and outer soft shadows, each control its own floating color, pastel/candy palette, friendly toy feel.
Signals
- · Oversized border-radius
- · Multi-layer inner + outer soft shadows
- · Each control its own floating color
- · Playful / toy illustration energy
Don't confuse with
Neumorphism matches the background; neobrutalism is hard black edges; clay is colorful and toy-like.
Style brief
Paste into your coding agent
Visual style: Claymorphism. Puffy 3D color chunks with inner and outer soft shadows, toy-like. Defining signals: - Oversized border-radius - Multi-layer inner + outer soft shadows - Each control its own floating color - Playful / toy illustration energy Do not confuse with: neumorphism, neobrutalism. Neumorphism matches the background; neobrutalism is hard black edges; clay is colorful and toy-like. Implementation brief: Use claymorphism: puffy 3D soft shapes, oversized border-radius, dual inner + outer soft shadows, independently colored floating objects, playful pastel or candy colors. Keep scope to visual language and components styling; do not redesign product information architecture unless asked.
