12 Creative Examples of Flat Web Design ~ Creative Market Blog

12 Creative Examples of Flat Web Design ~ Creative Market Blog | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

Flat Design has become a popular trend for app and website designs as of late. People seem to either love it or hate it, and it definitely isn't a style that works for all applications and websites. There are many benefits to flat design, such as simplicity and minimalism that makes for a certain ease of use. For some applications, flat design may be too simple, which is when we see semi-flat or flexible flat design that features slight drop shadows or gradients to add that little extra 'something' to the design.


Many have argued that flat web design is just efficient design -- that it's a way of making the user experience much more friendly. We've compiled some inspiring examples of flat design from creative portfolios and useful apps for your inspiration, as well as a break down of the elements of flat design to help you better understand flat design that works and converts.

Arusiak Kanetsyan's insight:

Flat design is really popular with mobile operating systems as well as apps, aside from taking over the web design trends. Here are some inspirational designs demonstrating flat designs of various webs.

Principles of Flat Design (5 Principles) | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it
Flat design – the design community just can’t stop talking about it. And feelings are strong. Most designers either can’t get enough of this trend, or absolutely hate it. I am somewhere in the middle.


There are five pretty distinct characteristics. Here’s a look at each, plus an introduction to “almost” flat design.

Authentic Design | Smashing Magazine

Authentic Design | Smashing Magazine | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

The recently popularized “flat” interface style is not merely a trend. It is the manifestation of a desire for greater authenticity in design, a desire to curb visual excess and eliminate the fake and the superfluous.

In creating new opportunities, technological progress sometimes leads to areas of excess. In the 19th century, mechanized mass production allowed for ornaments to be stamped out quickly and cheaply, leading to goods overdecorated with ornament. A similar thing occurred in recent years, when display and styling technologies enabled designers to create visually rich interfaces, leading to skeuomorphic and stylistic excesses.

In its desire for authenticity, the Modern design movement curbed the ornamental excess of the 19th century, making design fit the age of mass production. Today, we’re seeing the same desire for authenticity manifest itself in the “flat” trend, which rejects skeuomorphism and excessive visuals for simpler, cleaner, content-focused design.

Arusiak Kanetsyan's insight:

In this article, Dmitry Fadeyev explains what authentic design is, what authenticity means in digital design, and why it matters.

Basic Principles of Flat Design - And Resources to Get You Started!

Basic Principles of Flat Design - And Resources to Get You Started! | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

In case that you have been stuck in a cave for the past few years, let me tell you this nice news: flat design is the current craze. We should now say goodbye to those intricate designs dominated by brushes, gradients, drop shadows and all those kinds of designs. I repeat, flat is the new trend.

The flat design is an emerging design style that uses flat shapes and icons. It basically revolves around the use of rectangles, circles, triangles and others shapes with the absence of other design elements like shadows, strokes and gradients. It was made popular by Microsoft in their computer systems, especially their new operating system they call Windows 8. Basically, the flat design style is rooted on two principles: simplicity and readability. These two principles guide the designers in formulating stylish web layouts, software designs, posters and many more.

Hovhannes 's insight:

flat design is a new web and application design trend.
