I really love the flat design trend. Does anyone know of any good photoshop/illustrator tutorials that teach this new trend?
Read some books about Swiss design :) http://www.richardhollis.com/books-as-author-and-designer/sw...

You mean turquoise? It's a pretty commonly used colour. In terms of exactness, it isn't the same colour either.
Yes it is. #00bd9c vs #00b290, I doubt you can tell the difference with the naked eye.
This is particularly interesting in the context of the widespread accusation that flat UIs tend to have worse discoverability (example: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/windows-8-disappointing-usab... ). If you inspect the key navigational and menu elements, they did a pretty nice job making it visually obvious (with hover states, borders, shapes etc.) what kind of functionality those flat blobs of color offer. ;)
I appreciate it, but I'm afraid I don't personally like the look of it, I'd never use it myself.
While very pretty, these controls make me feel like an old person who is learning how to use a computer for the first time. I have no idea how anything will respond if I click on it. It's a bit unnerving, but helps me empathize with first-time computer users.
I agree with the usability; in terms of aesthetics, it also simply feels heavy-handed. I don't know where to look, or where to click, because there's simply no nuance -- it's all big boring blocks of colors. It's the opposite of delightful.
I love the work that was put into this and there are some elements that I think are done extremely well and stand on their own...but after seeing a page where everything is flat, I've totally joined the non-flat side of the debate, due to the confusion/ambiguity of the interface...the buttons were especially jarring for me.
