(Last Updated On: April 17, 2018)Maybe you’ve already heard the term ‘flat design’. The modern trend that becomes more and more popular. Strict lines, vivid colors, distinctive icons. More simplicity and functionality with minimum unnecessary details. Starting like an unknown design tendency, flat design became a true leader in the digital world and is used by such giant corporations as Microsoft and Google. Let’s see what’s so special in it.
The first feature that strikes the eye is of course (surprise!) flatness. There are no shadows or highlighted icons and everything is performed in a minimalistic way, so the first impression you have is that everything is tight and clean. In comparison with other design concepts, which try to show things in great detail and draw realistic images as if to impress a viewer with its ability to imitate life, flat design sticks to the principle “the simpler the better”. Simple forms, simple lines, intuitive interface and of course colors. Bright, vibrant colors.
The great breakthrough the developers of flat design made is also consists of excessive amount of different hues and colors. Not fifty shades of gray, but close to it. Now a user can enjoy charming tints of turquoise, vibrant splashes of magenta or soothing aquamarine. Certainly, all these colors were successfully used before, but now the use of vivid and memorable hues became a priority and a basis for intuitive navigation.
The spacious layout of various elements also plays a significant role. It gives some extent of freedom because the view is free of the obscure ornamental elements and useless bells and whistles. What becomes more eye-catching is typography. Fonts and their disposition make the whole picture cleaner and more distinctive.
Although flat design is easier to make in a technical sense (no need to draw excessive shadows and gradients), it is not easier from an artist’s point of view. On the contrary, it demands a flawless yet natural sense of style to create something truly amazing.
And to show what this is all about, what simplicity, strict lines, bright colors, and strong typography I am talking about, here is a compilation of various templates performed in a fast growing elegant style of flat design. I hope you enjoy it.
