I was going to write at length about the issues I see in neumorphism and why this trend should be avoided. I know any attempt to guide my most impressionable colleagues away from it, will end up being failing because this fad is going to be a thing no matter what I say. So the only resource I have is making fun out the deficiencies of this trend… from my high horse.

我將詳細介紹我在神經變態中遇到的問題以及為什么應避免這種趨勢。 我知道，任何引導我印象最深刻的同事擺脫它的嘗試都將以失敗告終，因為不管我怎么說，這種時尚都會成為一件事情。 因此，我唯一的資源就是從高大的馬身上找出這種趨勢的不足。

Here are the worst steps possible to start dipping your toes in the latest UI trend with a semi-intellectual name: “neumorphism”.

這是最糟糕的步驟，可能會開始用半知識產權的名字“ neumorphism”將您的腳趾浸入最新的UI趨勢。

步驟1：跳入正確的“…主義” (Step 1: Jump into the right “…ism”)

First you need to forget the formal discipline that inspired the Dieter Rams, and forced Jony Ive to “accidentally” copy it.

首先，您需要忘記激發Dieter Rams的正式紀律，并迫使Jony Ive“偶然”復制它。

Design does not need to be useful, honest and long-lasting. Design is a pendulum powered by hype and lubricated in snake oil. It swings from hyper-realistic (skeumorphism) to brutalism (flat/metro) and back to hyper-realistic (neumorphism).

設計不必是有用的，誠實的和持久的。 設計是一個由炒作驅動的擺錘，并在蛇油中潤滑。 它從超寫實(擬態)到野獸派(扁平/都市)，再回到超寫實(同態)。

Let’s fool each other pretending this time the pendulum is not going to swing back, this design trend is here to stay, set in stone. Also let’s pretend Apple is not going in a different direction with Big Sur, so we all feel validated by a multi-billion dollar corporation.

假裝這次擺錘不會擺回去，讓我們互相愚弄，這種設計趨勢一直存在，牢牢把握。 另外，我們還假設蘋果??公司與Big Sur并沒有朝著不同的方向發展，因此我們都被一家價值數十億美元的公司所認可。

How to get into the right mindset? For every design choice you make you need to ask yourself: What would Willy Wonka do? And then reduce opacity to 10%, add two box shadows to make it “pop” out of the background, include an almost-invisible gradient fill and maybe a 1px border with exactly the same gradient as the gradient fill, just to show your obsession for detail.

如何進入正確的心態？ 對于每種設計選擇，您都需要問自己：Willy Wonka會做什么？ 然后將不透明度降低到10％，添加兩個框陰影使其從背景中“彈出”，包括幾乎不可見的漸變填充，以及可能與漸變填充完全相同的漸變的1px邊框，以顯示您的癡迷有關詳細信息。

Perfection!

完美！

步驟2：進行正確的設置 (Step 2: Get the right set up)

To fully understand the potential of neumorphism, it requires to enjoy it without the noise and distractions of the real world. Take your MacBook, go to your parents basement, turn off the light and let the UI shine. Let your eyes adjust, get a Costco size bag of Doritos and rejoice with the CSS3 abuse of shadows and gradients.

為了充分了解亞態的潛力，它需要在沒有現實世界的噪音和干擾的情況下享受它。 拿起MacBook，轉到父母的地下室，關掉燈，讓UI發光。 讓您的眼睛調整一下，得到一個好看的Doritos大小的包，并為CSS3陰影和漸變濫用感到高興。

While you are at it, call your clients (or manager), let them know about your new design direction and how they need to update every single flow you just delivered two sprints ago.

在此期間，請致電您的客戶(或經理)，讓他們知道您的新設計方向，以及他們如何更新您剛剛在兩個沖刺中交付的每個流程。

Enjoy the silence at the other side of the line, and get used to it, because that is going to be the last time you will hear from them. No worries, you are in the right place at the right time, just let your parents know that the basement is now your centre of operations, design studio and home.

享受電話另一端的沉默，并習慣它，因為這將是您最后一次聽到他們的來信。 不用擔心，您在正確的時間到了正確的地方，只是讓您的父母知道地下室現在是您的運營中心，設計工作室和住所。

步驟3：避免設計必要的東西 (Step 3: Avoid designing something necessary)

Now that you have full creative freedom and do not need to worry about stakeholders, requirements or even washing your dirty laundry, you need to find the right project.

現在您已經擁有了充分的創作自由，并且不必擔心利益相關者，要求甚至洗臟衣服的麻煩，您需要找到合適的項目。

Neumorphism shines on applications that are focused only on solving first world problems, the old definition of it, before covid-19, police brutality, erosion of democratic institutions, and economic recession. No matter what global warming activists say, the modern world is constantly craving for the next calorie counter, Keto recipe app, or Spotify redesign. So get your priorities straight Greta!

Neumorphism的亮點在于，應用程序僅專注于解決第一世界的問題，covid-19之前的舊定義，警察的野蠻行徑，民主制度的侵蝕以及經濟衰退。 無論全球變暖主義者怎么說，現代世界都在不斷渴望下一個卡路里計數器，Keto食譜應用程序或Spotify重新設計。 因此，讓您的工作重點排在Greta！

This is your new mantra:

這是您的新口頭禪：

“Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.”

“照顧奢侈品，生活必需品會照顧好自己。”

― Dorothy Parker

― 多蘿西·帕克

Avoid anything that bums you down, like error messages or tables (yikes!). In general if you need more than five form controls (that are not share, like, and subscribe buttons) the app does not deserve you, ditch it!

避免讓您大跌眼鏡，例如錯誤消息或表格(贊！)。 通常，如果您需要五個以上的表單控件(不共享，喜歡和訂閱按鈕)，則該應用程序不值得您放棄它！

步驟4：為小眾受眾群體(主要是您和您的媽媽)設計 (Step 4: Design for a niche audience (mostly you and your Mom))

Love is blindness, so the fact that most of your users will not be able to see the interface means they will absolutely freaking-love it!

愛是盲目的，因此大多數用戶將無法看到該界面，這意味著他們絕對會愛上它！

Sure some people will complain. Forget about them, they are not your audience. You want the early adopters, trend setters and influencers of the world. La crème de la crème de la crème, in other words, the saturated fat.

當然有些人會抱怨。 忘記他們，他們不是您的聽眾。 您需要世界的早期采用者，趨勢制定者和影響者。 Lacrèmede lacrèmede lacrème，換句話說就是飽和脂肪。

If you still attract some haters and you love Reddit drama, just force them to say “white” as many times as possible until the conversation get really uncomfortable, then show them you already have “dark mode” theme and the icon launcher in a rainbow background. Copy/paste the next thing they will say it straight to Twitter with their handle and boom! Now the conversation now is about something absolutely different.

如果您仍然吸引一些仇恨者并且喜歡Reddit戲劇，請強迫他們盡可能多地說“白色”，直到談話變得非常不舒服為止，然后向他們顯示您已經具有“黑暗模式”主題和彩虹中的圖標啟動器背景。 復制/粘貼下一句話，他們將以他們的直覺和熱情直接向Twitter說！ 現在的討論是關于絕對不同的事情。

If your app does not get any traction, even if your Mom is printing screenshots and posting them in the fridge with magnets, it is OK. Do not let self-doubt or common sense get in the way. Neumorphism will have the same cultural impact and shelf life of the “men bun”. If that haircut worked for Chris Hemsworth, I am sure it would do the same for anybody! It had nothing to do with his perfect genes, deep voice, endless charisma, star power, millions of dollars and 10,000 hours at the gym.

如果您的應用程序沒有任何吸引力，即使您的媽媽正在打印屏幕截圖并將其張貼在帶有磁鐵的冰箱中，也可以。 不要讓自我懷疑或常識成為障礙。 同種異體具有與“包子”相同的文化影響和保質期。 如果該發型對克里斯·海姆斯沃思(Chris Hemsworth)有用，我相信它對任何人都一樣！ 這與他完美的基因，深沉的嗓音，無盡的魅力，明星般的力量，數百萬美元的身價以及在健身房里花費10,000小時無關。

步驟5：獲得正確的靈感 (Step 5: Get the right inspiration)

If your creative juices run dry(vodka). Time for some food for thought(Doritos). You need a “Get out of the office(basement)” mindset!

如果您的創意果汁干了(伏特加)。 是時候深思熟慮了(Doritos)。 您需要一種“離開辦公室(地下室)”的心態！

You might be tempted to visit some previous clients, going to the library or doing contextual studies to understand users. Ha! Do me a favour, take your graphic tablet and slap yo-face!

您可能很想去拜訪一些以前的客戶，去圖書館或進行情境研究來了解用戶。 哈！ 幫我一個忙，拿起您的圖形輸入板并拍打您的臉！

For neumorphism we need to rethink work, we need to go to a candy store!

對于同態，我們需要重新考慮工作， 我們需要去糖果店！

We are planning a rapid prototyping session. You will need mentos for float buttons, lifesavers for charts, double-mints for form fields, jelly beans for pills / CTAs and sneakers (because you are not you when you are hungry). You can also bring M&Ms, but you need to lick off the artificial colouring to get the right hue.

我們正在計劃一個快速的原型會議。 您將需要浮動按鈕的薄荷糖，圖表的救生員，表單字段的雙薄荷糖，藥丸/ CTA的軟心豆粒糖和運動鞋(因為饑餓時您不是您)。 您也可以攜帶M＆M，但是您需要去除人造色素以獲得正確的色調。

Back home, open every single candy package and place them in a paper towel. Organize the same elements over and over, move it one mm to the left, one to the right. Spend weeks making a thousand variations of the same single solution. You know you are getting somewhere when your fingers are so sticky they make a Velcro sound when you move them, and your tongue looks like you french kissed a unicorn.

回到家，打開每個糖果包裝，然后將它們放在紙巾中。 一遍又一遍地組織相同的元素，將其向左移動一毫米，向右移動一毫米。 花費數周的時間來制作同一個單一解決方案的上千種版本。 您知道您的手指發粘時會到達某個地方，而當您移動它們時會發出維可牢尼龍搭扣的聲音，而您的舌頭看起來就像是法國人親吻了獨角獸。

Some people would say that you can do the same exercise with prescription pills, but not sure if your Dad will allow you to touch his Sildenafil.

有人會說您可以使用處方藥來做同樣的運動，但不確定您的父親是否允許您觸摸他的西地那非。

最后一步：僅與UI設計人員一起驗證您的UI (Final step: Validate your UI only with UI designers)

Never try to validate your designs with users, especially if they are older, their vision is not 20/20, or they are using their mobile phone in plain daylight. The only valid KPI your design needs is likes in Dribble, or if you are not cool enough to get an invitation… Behance. Dribbble setting up impossible expectations and interface dysmorphia since 2009.

切勿嘗試與用戶一起驗證您的設計 ，尤其是當他們年齡較大，視力不佳于20/20或在光天化日之下使用手機時。 設計所需的唯一有效KPI是“運球”中的喜歡，或者如果您不夠帥氣無法獲得邀請，則為……Behance。 自2009年以來，Dribbble設置了不可能的期望和界面變形。

You do not have to worry about contrast if there is no contrast at all! Repeat after me: WCAG 2.1 contrast compliance is dumb! The only AA and AAA standards that matter are the battery sizes for your fire stick remote control.

如果根本沒有對比度，則不必擔心對比度！ 在我之后重復：WCAG 2.1對比度符合性是愚蠢的！ 唯一重要的AA和AAA標準是火棒遙控器的電池大小。

Grind that social validation day and night. Once you get a good amount of followers, be ready to become a thought leader. You can write a dissertation in medium about how Eskimos have a fifty words for white and how that influenced your design philosophy. No worries, nobody will fact-check you. Also, the indigenous people of the Arctic will not call you on that, not because you are not completely wrong, they just could not care less about your work since they are worried because the world is melting (like most of us, including Greta).

白天和晚上都要進行社交驗證。 一旦獲得大量關注者，就準備成為思想領袖。 您可以在媒體上寫一篇論文，介紹愛斯基摩人如何用五十個單詞代表白色，以及它如何影響您的設計理念。 不用擔心，沒有人會檢查您的事實。 另外，北極的土著人民不會這樣呼吁您，不是因為您并沒有完全錯，而是因為他們擔心世界正在融化(就像我們大多數人一樣，包括Greta)，他們只是不關心您的工作而已。

Encore：計劃您的退出策略 (Encore: Plan your exit strategy)

Not saying that this trend will pass, because it won’t.

并不是說這種趨勢會過去，因為不會。

But in case it passes, it would not be bad to have a bold statement ready, like an article in medium saying “Neumorphism is dead, I knew all this time!”. Then removing every single case study of your portfolio and replacing it with new screens in whatever the new style is trending (hint, it is going to be flat).

但是萬一它通過了，準備一個大膽的聲明就不錯了，就像媒體上的一篇文章說：“同態已經死了，我一直都知道！” 然后，刪除投資組合的每個案例研究，并以新樣式(無論趨勢如何，將其替換為新屏幕)(提示，它將保持不變)。

We will all pretend we are waking up from a weird dream and hate neumorphism, like we did with remake of “Willy Wonka and chocolate factory” after Johny Depp - Amber Heard allegations. In a couple of years we will pretend nothing happened, and we will love it, like we did with Johny most recently when we discovered he was the victim.

我們都會假裝我們正在從一個怪異的夢想和討厭的同態變化中醒來，就像在約翰尼·德普(Johny Depp)-琥珀·希德(Amber Heard)的指控之后對“威利旺卡和巧克力工廠”的翻拍一樣。 幾年之內，我們將假裝什么都沒有發生，我們會愛上它，就像最近與約翰尼(Johny)發現受害者是受害者一樣。

En fin, the frivolous pendulum of UI Design hype does not stop for anybody.

簡而言之，UI Design輕描淡寫的鐘擺并沒有停止。

額外：亞態的“真實”起源 (Extra: The “true” origin of neumorphism)

Just to drive my point about the lack of accuracy on many neumorphism online articles to the absurd in case somebody still thinks it is a real tutorial, let me give you some fake news:

如果有人仍然認為這是一個真實的教程，這是荒謬的，這是為了使我對許多同形網上文章缺乏準確性的觀點感到震驚，讓我給您一些假新聞 ：

Most people would try to point out that neumorphism as a design trend is a rebellion against the tyranny of flat design and an extension of the usage of shadows in material design v2. Older folks will say that it is a bleached out version of skeuomorphism. And according to Cyndi Lauper, girls just wanna have fun!

大多數人會試圖指出，將同態設計作為一種設計趨勢是對平面設計暴政的反叛，是對材料設計v2中陰影用法的擴展。 老年人會說這是擬態化的變色版本。 根據辛迪·勞珀(Cyndi Lauper)的說法，女孩們只是想玩得開心！

But they are all wrong, the original use of neumorphism was in a Netflix’s Daredevil episode as a piece of art called “Rabbit in a snow storm”.

但是他們全都錯了，神經變態的最初使用是在Netflix的《夜魔俠》情節中，被稱為“暴風雪中的兔子”。

So, if it how this UI trend that was born, it means it is part of the MCU. Therefore, if neumorphism is a thing in our world, it means that Infinity Stones are real. Plot twist!

因此，如果這個UI趨勢是如何產生的，則意味著它是MCU的一部分。 因此，如果說同質性是我們世界中的一件事，那就意味著無限石是真實的。 劇情轉折！
