Early 2013 has seen a rise in some pretty interesting discussions on the use of ‘flat web design’. Flat design seems to be causing a slight stir amongst the design community right now, arguments for and against the flat design trend are often lively and heated.
Flat Web Design?
Firstly, flat design in the case of this article is referring to either app or UI web design – NOT housing or apartment decoration.
Flat design rather simply means your web or app design contains minimal use of heavy gradients, bevels, drop shadows or any form of element that would provide considerable depth to the user interface.
It is easy to get caught up in the debate, flat design has without a doubt been received both positively and negatively.
However, today I wanted to take a look at the positive examples of flat design, both in terms of web apps and mobile apps.
