Gandhi1 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Since downloading the iOS 7 beta on my iPhone I have really become a fan of the "flat" design and really like how the concept designs are looking for iOS. You guys have to really check them out http://techpie.net/2013/07/20/ios-7-a-step-in-the-right-direction/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rippleman Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 guess who you can thank for introducing the trend? i think the earliest "flat" inspiration goes all the way back to the 1920's with corporate catalog designing, not sure who was very first though...

Fourjays Veteran Posted July 21, 2013 Veteran Share Posted July 21, 2013 Wow, those are some really nice looking app design concepts. :o IMHO, the people who've created these design have "got" the whole reasoning and logic behind flat design far better than Microsoft and WP8 developers have. And I say that as an owner of an HTC 8x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I say that as an owner of an HTC 8x. As someone who left WP8 to go back to iOS/iP5, I have to say, IMO, if MS shores up the areas it's lacking in, they've got the UI by a mile. And I really like my iP5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo158 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 They really do look good, that's coming from a Windows Phone user. I do think the Facebook app redesign looks very much like the WP version, not that it's a bad thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User6060 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 im totally gonna miss the old style. thats when artists could be creative with creating the illusion of interactivity with a 2D UI. Now its just 2D. gradients and shadows, embossed and bezels for the win. more design is more design. less design is not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcfan Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Thank ?

Gandhi1 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 I don't really like the Safari icon in iOS 7 wish the design was more like this http://techpie.net/2013/07/21/i-wish-this-was-the-safari-icon-in-ios-7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The "flat" design is really starting to grow on me. Those Twitter and Facebook concepts look amazing. Since using Spendee on my iPhone (still running iOS 6) I've accepted the new, flat look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
