* Use the following designs for inspiration only. Please do not copy the designs.
1. Two-dimensional elements
•
Avoid the use of depth or 3D effects like shadows, bevels, and gradients.
•
Use solid-colored shapes and icons.
2. Bold, solid colors
•
Use solid colors with a focus on primary colors, bright hues, and contrasting tones.
•
Gradients and textures are minimized or excluded entirely in favor of flat, uniform color schemes.
•
To create a shadow effect, a slightly darker color can be applied.
3. Simplified icons and shapes
•
Use simplified, geometric shapes, and minimalistic icons to represent objects.
•
Avoid the use of black borders or outlines.
4. Minimal typography
•
Use simple and easy-to-read fonts to complement the clean, straightforward aesthetic.
5. No realistic textures or shadows
•
Unlike older design styles that used textures to create a sense of realism, flat design avoids this by using flat, smooth surfaces without drop shadows or other three-dimensional cues.
