Explore the philosophy behind Google's material design specification. See how it encourages user interaction in a realistic and intuitive way by combining visual cues from life, with classic principles of design and animation, to create a unified standard for user experience across devices and platforms.
The material design language expands on card motifs, focusing on grid-based layouts, responsive animations and transitions, padding, and depth created by light and shadows. Based on the concept of paper and ink, Google developed this specification with material as the metaphor.
Intended to be as tactile as paper and ink, surfaces have depth and light, and interactions take place in a realistic and familiar way.
