It's not a fad. The reason we are moving towards flat design is high resolution displays. Flat design emphasizes typography which isn't ugly anymore.

- NoodleIncident 13y agoHmm. Interesting. I've heard a lot of reasons for this trend, but that's a new one to me.
- esolyt 13y agoTypography is now beautiful and something to show off. There is no need for glossy UI elements or textures to hide it. If you look at iOS and early Android, everything they did was to hide the ugliness resulting from low-res screen. Today, the content itself is beautiful.
- anthonyb 13y agoI'm not sure that high res displays would have much to do with it. Webfonts might though.
