Reading about "flat design" makes me embarrassed to call myself a designer and risk being associated with these people.
Is anyone fucking educated anymore? Bunch of tutorial monkeys blogging about shit they clearly haven't the slightest clue about beyond a few Photoshop tricks.

For me the name 'flat design' is a bit of a red herring. If you look at Site Inspire from 4 years ago it was all pretty 'flat'.

I would say that there is a trend towards childlike coloured illustrations.

"Though some decry flat user interfaces as pure fashion, or the obvious response to skeuomorphic trends, many designers have embraced the flat approach because the reduction in visual styling (such as gradients, drop shadows, and borders) creates interfaces that seem simpler and cleaner.
The problem is that most flat UIs are built with a focus on the provision of content, with transactional components (i.e., forms) receiving very little attention. What happens when flat and forms collide? User experiences can, and often do, suffer."
