Skeuomorphism

Skeuomorphism is a design concept where objects are made to resemble their real-world counterparts. For example, a digital notepad app that looks like a physical notebook, complete with lined paper and a leather cover, uses skeuomorphism. This approach makes digital interfaces more familiar and intuitive by mimicking the appearance and function of traditional items. It helps users feel comfortable navigating new technologies by leveraging their existing knowledge of physical objects, providing a bridge between the old and the new in design.
