13. What is Flat Design?
Flat design refers to a style of interface design which removes
any stylistic choices that give the illusion of 3D.
It is focused on a minimalist use of simple elements, typography
and flat colors.
Designers may prefer flat design because it allows interface
designs to be more streamlined and efficient.
