From Skeuomorphic To Flat,from Flat To Skeuomorphic

Looking down at the mobile phones in our hands and computers on our desks,these mobile devices have become unknowingly an important part of our daily life.Since we e and delivering information has quickly shifted from paper-based publications to digital terminals.The user interface as an important part of mobile devices,the development of interface style has also experienced several stages of evolution.In the course of several decades of evolution,the most hot controversy in this field is the style transition from Skeuomorphism to Flat Design.This paper is divided into four parts,the first part is about the history of the development of the graphical interface.The development starts from the ancient punching machine,command line interface,graphical interface,to the current trend of the touch screen of mobile phones,and then to the trend of VR.In the future may appear a variety of new interfaces.The first part introduces the origin of graphical user interface and the present application in detail.In addition,this part summarizes the main features of every phase.The second part explains the formation of the Skeuomorphism and the Flat Design and introduces their respective histories and characteristics.Then explains in details two kinds of design languages that extended by the Flat Design.The third part is about the reasons for the popular trend of the Flat Design.According to the current study of the proposed material and the development process,I will propose the idea that the essence of the discussion between the Skeuomorphism and the Flat Design is the development of technology and how well users know the interface.In the final part,according to my observation of the field of the current user interface design,I will analyze the development of the graphical user interface in the future and propose my opinions.
