Material design
Material Design ( code name : Quantum Paper ) is a design language developed by Google Inc. and was first used on Google Now . The design is based on material-like, map-like surfaces and the flat design style , which is known for its minimalism , but still uses a lot of animations and shadows to create objects as "materials" with a behavior that corresponds to the laws of physics (e.g. a slight depth effect ) and to let the user immediately recognize which areas contain important information or are interactive and what this interaction will bring about.
Material design is now used in many apps (primarily on Google's Android operating system ) and less often on the web . Google continuously updates its web services with Material Design and also offers other developers APIs for implementing the design guidelines.
Material Design was announced on June 25, 2014 at Google I / O and as of 2015, most of Google's own apps adopted the design language.
Google's Material Design released a major update in May 2018. It can be made more flexible, cross-platform to make the design easier to adapt.
