Throwback 90's?
I'm so glad we're mostly rid of useless ornamentation: endless bevels, drop-shadows, gradients, and skeuomorphism...
There are many different takes on flat design, so it's not a design mono-culture. Google, Microsoft and Apple all have unique, flat, design languages.
- smoyer 11y agoBut perhaps a bit better than the '90s? It's uncluttered but everyone knows they shouldn't use <blink> and <marquee>.
- ihuman 11y agoWhat's wrong with gradients when used in a non-skeuomorphic way?
- pearjuice 11y ago>different takes on flat design Yes, they all use a different color scheme.
- kevin_thibedeau 11y agoMore like throwback 1920's when Grotesque sans fonts became commonplace for signage and inscriptions on buildings.
- Vexs 11y agoHuh, I never thought of that, how they're all so different. Microsoft uses flat, very contrasting rectangles, versus google uses rounded shapes and pastel colors.
- bcoates 11y agoJust because you don't understand what they do doesn't make them useless ornamentation.
