Skeuomorphism in Design – Why Your Screen Once Looked Real (And Might Again)
Remember when your phone’s Notes app looked like a yellow legal pad? Or when digital buttons looked like you could actually press them? In this episode of The Talk by WE AND THE COLOR, we explore the fascinating journey of skeuomorphism—the design philosophy that once dominated our digital world by imitating physical objects.
We discuss why skeuomorphic design became so popular, what led to its dramatic fall with the rise of flat design, and why it might be making a comeback in the form of neumorphism. From Apple’s stitched leather to today’s soft shadows and clay-like surfaces, this episode unpacks the emotional and functional layers of how we experience digital interfaces.
Tune in to discover how our need for familiarity, clarity, and tactile comfort keeps reshaping the visual language of technology.
