#15: Trend Follower

Play

Today we take a look at design trends in iOS and how developers and designers should react to them. We consider trends in iOS 7 like flat design and deference to content, and discuss how they will affect our upcoming app re-designs. We also talk about where to draw design inspiration and showing restraint when adopting new design trends in our own apps. We close with a few predictions about what third-party iOS 7 apps will look like in six months.
