r/graphic_design on Reddit: Why was Skeuomorphism invented BEFORE flat design?
January 29, 2024 -
Was thinking about this today, why did designers felt the need to develop suck complex life-like shapes and button instead of just going with a straight, simple and easier to make flat design from the beginning? I would assume an evolution the other way would make more sense(?) Can’t justify this, long and slow actually, transition from skeuomorphism to flat design. Can y’all enlighten me? xoxo

Because people wouldn’t have recognised a flat shape as a button. We had to replicate the real world to show people what their on screen analogs were. It’s only now that we have transitioned to and are comfortable with digitally-native ideas and designs that we can understand objects without needing a basis in a real world equivalent.
