Drawbacks of Skeuomorphic Designs
Despite designs being attractive and improving user experience the drawbacks can’t be ignored, there are some important points that we must consider before implementing such designs
- Clutter: Overusing such designs creates clutter on the application’s UI and destroys user experience with unnecessary details and designs.
- Impact on the device: Such designs demand unwanted usage of both memory and processor which may slow down the device put pressure on other sensors and result in long-term problems with the device and applications.
- Overdoing Skeuomorphic designs: Implementing these designs on simple applications is not always suitable, it is always recommended to avoid it in unwanted situations, example these designs may not be meaningful for your phone’s Weather application as this doesn’t have only one single physical counterpart and is expected to keep it simple.
