What is material Design
- According to Google, Material design is based on "the real touch, inspired by the study of paper and ink," allowing users to "understand the visual cues used to replace the real world," "without violating the mechanics principle." In addition, the fundamentals of light, surface, and movement are the key to how objects move, interact, and relate to each other in space. Realistic lighting effects can show seams between chunks, divide space, and identify moving parts. Material Design offers a set of principles for animation, style, and layout, as well as suggestions for a large number of visual components, including buttons, cards, grids and dialogs, and related actions and gestures, plus some accessibility-related guidelines.
- Material design is a simple language, it contains the system interface style, interaction, UI and other specifications. The main feature is the system interface style "bright, image, thoughtful", in the choice of color material design principle is "bold, graphical, meaningful", responsive interaction and so on
- For Android says the advent of material design is epoch-making, and it sends a signal to a variety of different design applications and launcher that have no sense of beauty: Our design is not much worse than Apple, Apps designed with material will be more aesthetically pleasing. Of course, it may take a long time for the material design to fully penetrate Google's ecosystem, but since Google dares to take this step, it means that Google is beginning to constrain Android as an open system, and Android fragmentation will ease, and Android will be material in the future. Design of the world.
