What is flat design?
Both web and mobile interfaces have seen a major makeover in trendy new user interfaces. When you think about your phones calculator, weather app or phone book, you will notice these things are designed to sound and look just like the real life elements that they are named after. Are the other visual clues and extra details necessary? This is where flat design comes in – in the form of simplicity, clarity and minimalism.
Flat design does away with all the bevelled edges, gradients, shadows and reflections adopted in previous design – focusing solely on functionality creating a better user experience. In web design as well, “flat” pages do away with dimensionality, shadows, or textures into the equation, relying instead on parallax scrolling and visual clarity to communicate.
There are several great examples of flat design all around – you may have been using for years! For example the recent windows 8 interface which is aimed at revolutionising the way we interact and navigate with technology. Gone is the start button and toolbars, replaced with an interactive, tablet friendly interface in which so many phone operating systems (such as IOS7) following this shift in design.
