- There is a growing trend away from skeuomorphic designs towards more simplistic and minimal type interfaces.

skeuomorphism

nounskjuːə(ʊ)ˈmɔːfɪz(ə)m

Example sentencesExamples
- Over time, skeuomorphism has seeped into all areas of UI design.
- The advent of textured screens and web pages promises a whole new wave of skeuomorphism: that leather binding will not only look like leather, it will feel like it too.

- There is nothing intrinsically wrong with skeuomorphs: the whole of classical architecture (wood represented in stone) is based on skeuomorphism, as is most software interaction.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Greek skeuos 'container, implement' + morphē 'form'.
