@flyosity most idiotic thing i have heard all day.

@Betraydan Didn't say that all flat design is executed by mediocre designers, I said that mediocre designers find flat design easier. No?

@flyosity sorry my bad for misreading that. Mediocre designers design mediocre regardless of the type of aesthetic.

@flyosity although that probably just means I'm a mediocre designer

@yocline Nooo you're misreading me, not all who use flat design are mediocre but it's like Bootstrap, you can build nice stuff quicker.

@flyosity is that any different than other trends? Pick a gradient, add a reflection, drop a shadow, solve 0 problems = Done

@j_lloyd Execution of realism is difficult. It's easy to screw it up. http://flyosity.com/application-design/your-design-is-wrong-and-heres-why.php …

@flyosity Mediocre visual designer here. I can confirm this. Flat design is making a wireframe and then saying screw it, that’s good enough.

@ctbeiser Haha, I doubt you're mediocre, just meant there's less *stuff* to do in PS so it can be breezed through quicker :)

@flyosity hmm. Well, I guess google and ms have mediocre designers then :/

@mtheoryx Yes.

@flyosity To be fair, it can be done right.

@iamramsey And that takes an extra 30 seconds compared to the 45 that it usually takes.

@flyosity coming from the guy whose blog is awfully flat.

@icstars989 Except for all those gradients and inner shadows and glows and stuff.
