Flat Web Design: Beautiful Examples of Websites
Flat Design is a new trend labeled by the community as an interface striking similar to Microsoft’s Metro UI because it leaves drop shadows, embossing, subtle textures and gradients behind, while favoring clean layouts, sharp typography and solid colors. The new Google design and Microsoft’s come-up with Windows 8 is actually based on an older trend called Flat Design, which was not extremely popular back then, but was very easy to design, therefore people used it. In this article we would like to show what in our opinion are great examples of Flat Design websites. Examples of Flat Designs in Web Design SpellTower SpellTower is a single-page website for an Android puzzle game which uses several color backgrounds throughout the layout, as well as some buttons for their simple, clean menu.

Making it Work: Flat Design and Color Trends
We’ve talked a lot here about the flat design trend here at Designmodo. We’ve raved about it, showed you plenty of cool examples and even developed a free user interface kit for you to download and use for projects. But what if you want to do it yourself? One of the most important parts of the trend is color. Flat Design Refresher Flat design is a technique that uses simple effects – or lack thereof – to create a design scheme that does not include three-dimensional attributes. Some call the look of flat design simple, although it can be quite complex. Learn more about the flat design trend in a previous Designmodo article. Defining a Color Palette When it comes to color, flat design works with a variety of colors, but most commonly designers are choosing to go bold and bright. The other thing that makes flat design different in terms of color? What we are seeing more of with flat design and color though is the matching of tone and saturation. Bright Colors So where do you start? Retro Colors

Almost Flat Design | Matthew Moore Design
Flat design is both hot and controversial in world of user interface. Microsoft led the charge to introduce it to the masses and many others have followed suit: LayerVault, The Next Web, and more. Many designers have been calling it a fad since early on, thanks in large part to the UX problems it presents in interfaces that reach a certain level of complexity. Flat design is beautiful and refreshing. It’s also generally faster to design and easier to make responsive. From Apple (left) to Google (center) to Microsoft (right), today’s tech giants are pushing very different visual design aesthetics. A Way Out Of Here With any great debate, the best solution usually lies somewhere in the middle. There is a way to take all of the good things from flat design and apply them in a way that is still usable, even for highly complex interfaces. Gmail (web + iOS), Google Maps (iOS), and Google+ (iOS) are the most prominent examples of what you could call Almost Flat Design. It’s not just Google.
Fresh Resources for Designers and Developers – April 2013
We are already in the second quarter of the year. While some people might fool you with jokes, we will share goodness instead, especially for designers and developers. In this round, we have some great tools for you to facilitate your work — from a tool that allows you to create customized grid paper for sketching or wireframing to one that aid optimizing your webpage load. Let’s check them out. Paperkit If sketching and wireframing is what you always do before Photoshop(ing), then you need this tool, Paperkit. Then you can download it in PDF format for printing. Web Development Estimator As a freelance worker, your client will certainly request your service pricing rate. One of the limits of this tool, however, is that it only supports Dollar, Pounds, Yen, and Euro for the currency symbol. Lorem Pixel Lorem Pixel is a tool to generate a dummy image for you to design prototypes, both for Print and Web. All in all, it’s a great tool to complement its sibling Lorem Ipsum, worth bookmarking.
The future of iOS design? — Product Design
Sweating the details of iOS 7 “Completely flat,” “Like Android,” “Microsoft-flat,” etc., etc., etc. The talk about how Apple is going to “flatten out” its UI style has set the rumour-mills ablaze with completely spurious conjecture. So I thought I’d add to it. However, let’s approach this not from “what one insider source told someone” but instead from evidence of progression within some of the top iOS apps. Let’s start with homescreen icons given it’s the most obvious port of call. Above is a selection of some of the most popular, well-known or lauded apps for the iOS platform. To me, there is a distinct movement towards a particular style and I would be very surprised if Apple were ignorant of it. One of the jobs of a designer is that you’re very sensitive to trying to understand what goes on between seeing something and filling out your perception of it. — Jony Ive
