The internet has changed a lot over the last few years, and so has the way we view things online. As such, in this article, we will be taking a look at some of the recent accessibility improvements that Flat Design has brought and helping make the internet that little bit more open and accessible to everyone.
Flat Elements
Skeuomorphs are used to emulate colors, textures, shapes and even features of actual objects in real life, and thus can be really helpful for those who are not used to new technologies and prefer simulations of their environment. However, how accurate will it be for people with visual disabilities? Will it really be worth the effort to keep designing this way for them? Well, the counterpart of this option, flat design, has a lot of advantages that can help those with special needs. As flat elements make use of basic shapes such as regular/irregular polygons, they are more recognizable.
