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.

- ..partially because even simple stuff looks great on 60fps, 300dpi...mikotondria3
- 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

- all pixel based design is impressionist design.
_niko - Surely it's more of an industrial pointilism, pixel design ?mikotondria3

They're adding the start button, that's not a redesign per se.

...if only there was a way of having the whole screen as simple, scalable vectors, with, say, I/O, audio and video built into the platform. Animation, tweening and external libraries would be great, as would a graphical time-line to develop with hardly any coding...
- They could call it Flashi_monk

- ..yes, and browers could display it natively, as a plug in would kill it dead.mikotondria3
- yes, and all the type would be searchablemonospaced

Seems the most important part of "flat design" for the dribbble crowd is the colour turquoise

Are we beyond this ? Trends, I mean - surely it's all all all about UX ?
There are many techniques to direct attention and communicate paths and heirarchy and value, for every identity or style. Saying that 'flat' is a trend, is like saying turning left is trend in motorsport.- ableton uses it to great functional effect \/lodef
- Yes, it really does.
