"As much as I love minimalist design, completely ‘Flat’ design (with it’s noticeable square corners, lack of shadow & highlights etc) just doesn’t sit well on the iOS platform. Minimalist design doesn’t have to hold to entirely removing any sense of press states, corner-rounding or shadows.

I’ve created a UI resource psd for reference which is hardly comprehensive but was more of an experiment to see how far I could pull it back to flat but keep it feeling native. There’s a small selection of buttons and icons, a ‘cards’ main-body interface (which is such a prevalent theme these days in UI design),and the like.

As a bonus I’ve included a version housed in a completely flat iPhone 5 psd which I’ve created more as a way of showcasing work whilst de-emphasising the device itself, but figured it’s appropriate here."
