Flat design

Flat Design refers to a minimalist web design approach that gained traction in the late 2000s. Characterized by its clean, open space, crisp edges, bright colors, and two-dimensional illustrations, flat design stands in contrast to realistic 3D graphics and skeuomorphic design which mimic real-world properties. This design style emphasizes simplicity and functionality, focusing on content rather than decorative elements that mimic physical objects. It has been widely adopted for its scalable and visually appealing interface that enhances user experience.
