Skeuomorphism, as a design principle, involves incorporating ornamental design cues from physical objects into digital interfaces. It aims to make new functions familiar and intuitive by mimicking real-world counterparts. This approach often uses textures, shadows, and highlights to give digital elements a tangible feel, enhancing user comprehension and engagement, especially in blog and content consumption platforms.
