Material Design

Update and unify your mobile app with Android’s new design.

Unity

Material’s guidelines will be used across all devices, allowing your users to navigate intuitively on phones, tablets, and the web.

Simplicity

An enormous amount of information and data is available right at your fingertips via your phone. Material design puts what is most important and relevant to the user at the forefront.

Beauty

Material design is flat and simple but not plain. Designers can determine where on the z plane their design elements should sit. Drop shadows are added accordingly for a 3D effect. The illusion given is that apps and their features are a stack of papers. Items move fluidly and will expand depending on their importance at the time.

Ease

Material and Android L make it easy for users to find what they are looking for. Large blocks of color are used to draw the user to essential interactions. The search bar has been enhanced and will include results from applications.
