  1. FLAT UI James Marquis

  2. What is Flat UI? • Design theme for Bootstrap • Minimalistic approach to design • Uses bright colors, flat illustrations, clean space, and crisp edges • Meant to contrast skeuomorphism used by Apple

  3. Well, what’s skeuomorphism? • “A derivative object that retains ornamental design cues from structures that were necessary in the original”

  4. Elements of Flat Design • Bright and contrasting colors • No beveled edges, gradients, shadows, or reflections • More focus on functionality • Meant to “play to the strengths of a digital interface, rather than limiting the user to the confines of the familiar analog world.”

  5. Examples of Flat UI • http://naikom.ru/en • http://www.hellohired.com/ • http://livearealabs.com/ • Windows 8 Interface

  6. Questions • What are the differences (in theory and practice) between flat design and skeuomorphism? • What is one of the easier ways of achieving flat design? • What was one of the first major uses of flat design?

  7. Answers • Skeuomorphism focuses on the familiar, making users feel more at home with what they are using (a bookcase app appearing like wood, keyboards with the nubs on f and j, etc.). Flat design is about the information, getting rid of the “outside noise” caused by skeuomorphism • The Flat UI design template for Bootstrap • Microsoft with the Windows 8 interface
