skeuomorphic design patterns

Skeuomorphic design patterns refer to visual elements in digital interfaces that mimic real-world objects or textures to make them familiar and easier to understand. For example, digital notes resembling paper, or a calendar with a book-like appearance. These design choices use familiar cues to help users intuitively recognize functions and purposes of features. While they create a seamless connection between the physical and digital worlds, modern design trends often favor simpler, flat interfaces that focus on functionality over realistic imitation.
