A Guide to Material Design

When Google presented a new version of its operating system codenamed Android L, the main mantra was Material Design. Have you ever wondered what is Material Design UI? We bring you a guide to material design.

Material Design UI is not just a cosmetic change in the appearance of Android system, which includes a clean layout and typography and different interface. It is a set of rules and guidelines how mobile software should work, and no matter in which device is Android running. The new design language is based on the philosophy that users receive notification in a natural way as with physical objects and to understand the technology they use every day.

Material design borrows from the concepts already applied for print design. The shadows help create a sense of depth where there is none, and correct use can mimic the appearance of papers stacked several layers high. Using the same techniques, modern applications seem to have a sense of depth. Sidebar still comes out on the left side of the screen as before, but now it floats across the action bar at the top of the screen.

Another important thing is to get more from that the user does not need to manage their data, but on the basis of information requests, they receive only those that are required at a given time.
