In November, after the release of Android Lollipop, we finally got acquainted with the first fruits Material Design Google. Many designers and engineers immediately started to crack up as a fresh decision, which in the future should combine a wide range of Google products.
Visualization of parts is simply gorgeous. The interface is a three-dimensional structure consisting of layers having physical properties which is quite a new trend in the design. Bright colors, large images and depth exactly delight users. But the Material Design - is not only bright layers, like colored paper, and not the details themselves. It is the interaction of these components to create a single brand.
Interface - a brand
User interaction with the device takes place via the user interface. That is, from what it had been done (metal or plastic), we will judge him on the digital component. According to what is made of pixels. Therefore, Google has decided to concentrate its efforts around the user interface, because the pixels themselves are now brand.
Material Design - a digital attempt to lure customers on Google's side and challenge Apple monopoly, which is already a very long time, paying special attention to the user interface and the uniformity of their products.
everything is thought out
In design there are two well-known truth:
- If developers can mess up the user interface, they do;
- An alternative to good design - it is not the lack of design and bad design.
That is, if you do not like something when using the device, it is not a screen and its resolution, and crudity of interface elements.
Google Design Evolution
It is important to note that the Material Design has been created from scratch. Observant users may notice the slow evolution of design Google. In 2011 the design was revised Gmail, which got a flat icons and free space. But this single update, as it turned out, was part of a deliberate process of Google.
Quite impressive is the desire Google to create a unity of diverse and disparate products company. Anyone with the attitude to software development, can confirm that the review old design - it is always a very difficult process, especially when there are a large number of users. Due to Material Design Google company may have to prove that it can be done even in such a large scale.
