What is Flat Design?
Flat Design is a minimalist design approach that emphasizes simplicity and clarity, using clean, two-dimensional elements without gradients, textures, or shadows. It contrasts with skeuomorphic design, which mimics real-world objects with detailed textures and 3D effects.
Flat design gained popularity for its ability to create modern, user-friendly interfaces that load quickly and adapt well to different screen sizes. However, its simplicity can sometimes lead to usability challenges, particularly if interactive elements are not clearly distinguished. To mitigate this, designers often incorporate subtle cues, such as color changes or animations, to enhance the user experience.
