To
expand the idea of Card based design which Google has already showcased
with Google Now, it has brought about a new website designing language,
Material Design LITE. As
a language it promotes grid-based layouts that allow web designs to be
more responsive and look excellent in terms of appearance.
Material
designs can produce images as well as designs that stay close to the
real life situations, as “based on paper and ink”, claimed by Google.
Almost every product supported by Google such as Gmail. Maps, Drive, You
Tube and even android applications have activated the new Material
Design.
Every custom web development company
having expert web developers has already initiated many projects using
the new Material Designing concepts. In this article we can look into
the most essential points that a web developer should concentrate on,
while working with Material Design LITE.
Google’s
concept of material designs revolves around two main components namely
the Material and the Motion. Before shifting our thoughts to the
Material and Motion, we should identify the contextual design together
with the role played by cards. Cards act as the main element to display
the context and relationship with one design to the other.
Material Design Live Example
Material
Style and presentation of content are what contributes to the material on the web. Material happens to be a mixture of various aspects, especially color, typography and the layout. Color adds a feel to the material.
The
liveliness of a page can be realized by the use of colors. Typography
or the font which designers use to set the contents inside the material
or relative cards also brings in the look of the material.
Perhaps
the most vital part of the material is layout itself. User interface
which creates good experience for users over various devices is created
by the layout. A better layout will bring great user experience and
device compatibility.
Stacking is one of the concepts which is used to create superior layouts. Even
floating elements, buttons or anything attractive in the layout can be
set by the method of stacking. Very idea of material design is to bring
life like reality for the users.
Motion
The
material will remain static, and the motion makes it dynamic. Take the
case of a card design. The real flow of ideas from one card to the other
is made possible by the motion.
Users
can tap at the content of the main card, and in an instant another
relative card scales the size of your device to display more contents.
Motion makes it possible.
Responsive
interaction is made more smooth with easing motion of cards or
materials. Various techniques such as animation and slow as well as
timely movement of selected contents in a material can be implemented
with the easing motion. Thus the material and the motion create great
interfaces coupled with user experience.
Bottom-line
From
a developers point of view significant components to be noted in a
material design are material and motion. We can wait to hear much more
developments regarding material design LITE in recent years, for Google
is working to make it further expressive, and user-friendly.
