From Microsoft’s ‘live tiles’ in Windows 8, to Google’s new logo: the digital design world is getting flatter (small exception: Yahoo). With Apple’s most recent iOS7, it seems that Ive has given us the official nod: Skeuomorphism is decidedly dead. Flatness is taking over: no more textures or embellished chrome, no more mimicry. Virtual interfaces will from now on be authentically (and “unapologetically”) digital and flat.
