# [[W3CSS Trends]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
The source frames flat design's central usability problem as ambiguous CLICKABILITY ("what is the difference between an image and a clickable button?") — and shows "Almost Flat" (Flat 2.0) emerged specifically to solve that problem by re-adding depth cues (shadows, hover effects) WITHOUT fully reverting to skeuomorphism, meaning design trends here are framed as successive fixes to specific usability regressions, not just aesthetic fashion cycles. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Flat Design** — originated with Windows Phone 7/Windows 8 (2010), adopted by Apple iOS 7 (2013); uses bold marketing/road-sign colors; core weakness is unclear clickability. [S1]
- **Almost Flat (Flat 2.0)** — adds back depth via shadows and hover effects while keeping flat design's bright colors and simplicity. [S1]
- **Material Design** — Google (2014); paper-and-ink metaphor with realistic shadows and hover effects; the source frames it as the successor once "flat" and "almost flat" both peaked. [S1]
- **Cards** — a general-purpose content structure (image + text on an equal plane) usable at any size, with or without shadows. [S1]
- **Readable Typography** — flat design correlates with larger letter/line spacing and bigger font sizes to prioritize reader attention. [S1]
- **Mobile First** — a reversal of historical practice: design for mobile FIRST, then add responsive behavior for desktop, rather than the old desktop-first-then-adapt approach. [S1]
- **Hero Images** — a large front-page banner image (static or rotating) meant to present a site's single most important message. [S1]
- **Single Page design** — replacing multi-page click navigation with vertical scrolling on one page, a technique that spread from social networks to general sites. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Full-screen input trend: modern signup/login forms increasingly use a full-screen overlay or modal rather than a small embedded form section or page redirect. [S1]
- 50/50 responsive layout: shows two content panels side-by-side on large screens, collapsing to one panel per screen on narrow (mobile) screens — cited as an easy way to achieve mobile-first responsive design. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
- **플랫 디자인의 근본 약점**: 어떤 영역이 클릭 가능한지 구분하기 어렵다는 문제가 명시적으로 지적되며, 이것이 Almost Flat과 Material Design 등장의 직접적 동기로 설명됨. [S1]

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 카드(Cards)/타이포그래피/히어로 이미지 등 이 챕터에서 소개된 트렌드 요소들이 실제로 W3.CSS 클래스(w3-card, w3-jumbo 등)로 이미 구현되어 있다는 점에서 이론과 실전이 직결된 챕터다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
A card component embodying the "cards" design trend (HTML/CSS):
```html
<div class="w3-card-4" style="width:50%">
  <img src="img_avatar.jpg" style="width:100%">
  <div class="w3-container">
    <h4><b>John</b></h4>
    <p>Architect and engineer</p>
  </div>
</div>
```
