Material Design + Hybrid Design = More than just a Web Trend?
Material Design is a web design trend which was started by Google. It is simple, clean and renowned for being easy to view and highly user-friendly. It’s a direct opposition to the skeuomorphism style populated by Appl.
In 2017 we expect many web designers to delve further into combining material design with flat design. This is being touted as Flat Design Version 2. It’s similar to flat design but utilised cards and shadows in the same way as material design.
For examples of material and flat design working together in hybrid format, you can check this designer’s website.
Just in case you’re limited on bandwidth, here’s an image of his website:
Some really beautiful card and shadow effects here; not to mention the increase of shadow on hover - so signature of material card design.
What do you think of flat design 2.0? Do you believe it will stay for a long time?Â
Or do you feel like it’s just another trend?Â
