> I am sure we are actually already in the midst of a shift away from flat design in certain more advanced design circles. Are we though? This article was written six years ago and designs don't seem to have changed all that much since. Considering this article is complaining about how much design has changed in the 3-4 years leading up to the post, the fact not much has changed after twice as much time has again past suggests that flat design might be inherently desirable and not a trend. I suspect we will need some sort of technological shift to occur before design languages change dramatically. Perhaps the introduction of something like being able to have real-time 3d models as icons.
