Hi
I had a play with flat design a little while back, mainly because I was interested in using the trend for the “Icon-isation” of everything. That aspect has been really helpful for our technical courses when everything we talk about is really just another ‘black box’ or ‘silver tube’ widget (yawn).
I think it is great that flat and simple is "in" because it is so much easier to produce the graphics yourself. This was all Powerpoint (and I owe a thank you to Tom Kuhlmann for highlighting the union shapes feature in PPT10 !)
It is really a bit of a mix of non-flat and flat (I guess that’s probably taboo in the flat world) as some assets came from existing live pptx. It doesn’t really get going on flat till the catalogue and sub-menu pages. Maybe I’ll get brave and flatten it all when I get a chance to finish it. I’m a Storyline novice as I still as get very little time with it, and it is still a work-in-progress so it is a bit glitchy. It is designed to be a supporting e-resource for live training.
