    I really like the feel of a really consequent flat design but one thing really bugs me:

    Printing techniques have dramatically increased and we have high-resolution display everywhere. even in our dishwashers, coffee machines, cars etc etc..

    So why the fuck don't we take advantage of 16 mil. colors, a 60fps steady screen, crisp, ultrasharp and 300ppi fonts? Go back to a 10-color interface on black background?

    I mean really, it's very nice looking but its three steps backwards to what is technically possible. There is no need for flat designs imho.

    • But we do! In my work (AI and PS) im pusing the full gamut of colours for my flat design, and the use of really soft gradients to enhance butrons is only something we can really do well with HD displays to avoid banding. Cheer up mate!itsricky
