- georgemcbay 14y agoYes, every design trend can be traced straight back to Apple. Nobody who doesn't work for Apple is capable of innovating new design trends. And after they leave Apple they lose the Apple magic and are just non-innovative designers again. (/s) On a more serious note, IMO Apple's wild ride into skeuomorphism is already starting to look dated, IMO. Their web designs don't suffer from this as much as their native apps do, but whenever I see a new app with a background that's brushed chrome or leather or some form of wood grain, it looks a bit stale in terms of design. Of course YMMV, this is a mostly subjective thing, but in terms of overall software visual design, I'll take what MS is doing with Metro or what Google has been doing with Android from ICS+ over the Apple texture-everything approach any day.
- hkon 14y agoYes, you mention apple, google and microsoft. I am under the impression that designers work on accepted (by big/famous companies/personalities) designs within the design community. Are these trends simply designers daring to be original, or can we trace these new trending designs back to a single influential source? Or maybe does the design need to exist on said influential sources for shotcallers to dare say OK ship it!
