I always wondered what happened to all the talented designers that used to make Skeuomorphic (gorgeous) 3D like icons of real items, aaaand completely got shafted by flat design.
Can anyone account for them?
They had real talent. But I think at some points the devs must have gotten tired of "designed UI" and the inter-relationship with web designers, and said the hell with this, we can do design too! Woo all I need is bootstrap right?
I've met quite a few graphic designers in my career. Though I haven't met any who were specifically doing 3d-style icons, they're all artists. Icons are just small art, and 3d-style icons were just a fad that fell out of fashion. I'd bet that nobody's career was staked on that niche.
