34 websites with flat design styles and 34 styles

The flat design style is actually our familiar metro style. It has been popular for about two years. It was initially created by Microsoft and applied to the win8 operating system. We noticed a variety of metro-style buttons, icons, webpages, and so on.

This article introduces 34 websites of this style, including personal blogs, company websites, image websites, etc. If you like which one, please slam the pictures and then you can go in and enjoy it slowly, when you have no plans for your own design, you may wish to look for inspiration from others. In particular, these websites are all foreign, and it is not easy to repeat the design style in China.

How to cultivate a flat design style?

Now let's take a look at Microsoft's things. Microsoft's things are almost flat Design Styles. His home page and windows phone Systems are flat. Let's take a closer look and learn more.

What is Flat Design )? Is flat design a trend in the future?

I have carefully explored this question recently and think that my original answer has a relatively large problem. @ Zixun's opinion in the comment area is correct. This is a visual style issue. Please do not agree with this answer. ---- The embossed effect is exactly the common means of quasi-materialized design (Skeuomorphism UI. The essence of the Flat UI is to try not to use metaphor. The essence of the Skeuomorphism UI is to use metaphor as much as possible, and the two are opposite from the starting point. The representative of Flat UI: Metro, represented by Skeuomorphism UI with as few as possible but sufficient graphical and color metaphor as possible: apple's official app design uses as few text information as possible, coupled with a wide range of visual metaphor. This contradiction stems from the design of the electric display interface itself: in very limited use and observation scenarios, complete the most complex Functional Significance transfer in history. Therefore, in order to achieve a "accessibility awareness", early Designers used the "metaphor" method in a large amount. For example, the "Relief Effect" mentioned by digoal is an example. This type of technique is not frequently used in industrial design and graphic design. However, "metaphor" has its limitations. After all, it is a ing set. When the connotation of a function is rich enough to feel the built-in meaning with the help of reality, metaphor becomes a hindrance to design. In this regard, the professional icon designers will feel deeply. For example, a display size of 64*64 has a total of 4096 pixels. In the four thousand-plus-point array, we can use gears to represent "Settings", and use a clock silhouette to add gears to represent "Set Time". When the functions are complex, to set a get up time, you need to add an additional ZZZzzz... to express the metaphor, the function continues to be complicated. How about adding a humanoid portrait when you want to set a time to get up for someone? You will find that in such a small dot matrix array, loading the four design elements "Settings, time, ZZZ, and humanoid portraits" will look so bloated that lines are staggered, the characteristics of each element cannot be understood at all, so such a design is not a good design. Under a certain display size, the superposition of design elements and the use of design metaphor are limited. Of course, the necessary functional keywords and metaphor can be reduced through function dismantling and Information Architecture restructuring, but these efforts cannot avoid the upper limit. Now, as the app continues to innovate, the use of design metaphor is gradually approaching this upper limit. So what Flat UI does now, apart from streamlining some flashy surface decorations, is at the core of streamlining design metaphor. Reference several graph descriptions. Figure 1 is a typical Skeuomorphism UI with a crystal feel ...... (IOS comes with a calculator) Figure 2 shows the Skeuomorphism UI that looks like the Flat UI, but it only looks Flat and removes most of the crystal sensation, there are still a lot of metaphors (pages of Calcbot appannie.com). (There are different comments in the comments area. You can see the comments of @ zi .) Figure 3 can be seen as an extreme and true Flat UI. There are only a few essential metaphors. Apart from the input keyboard, the rest of the interfaces are Flatten from appearance to Bones ...... (Soulver appannie.com's page) removing the "stereoscopy" brought about by highlights, shadows, and relief is a preliminary Flatten. Higher Flatten has not been widely used in the public field, however, it has been accumulated for a long time in industries that emphasize practicality in the military and finance sectors. In addition, although iron Xia's operation UI belongs to fake UI, it will be another form of Flatten. I believe that with the complex evolution of various electronic device functions, sooner or later, UI design will no longer be limited to Skeuomorphism UI and Flat UI competition, the final essence of S-UI will suck into the F-UI. This is unrelated to the Design Trend and only related to functions and practicality. -- In addition, it is too controversial to translate Flat UI into "Flat", because those who look at it easily correspond to the pure "scissors... the rest of the article>
