Material Design
Material Design is a visual design language and specification system developed by Google for Android, web, and cross-platform application interfaces. Its core concept draws on the metaphor of physical materials, using defined light, shadow, layering, motion, and color systems to give interface elements a sense of tangibility and consistency. The system provides a standardized UI component library, design specification documentation, and companion development tools to help designers and developers build unified, accessible user interfaces.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Google's Material Design icon system uses 24px as its baseline and reserves a 2px inner padding, creating an effective drawing area of 20px.
Material Icons is Google's official icon set accompanying the Material Design specification.
A growing number of independent designers are attempting to incorporate regional culture and traditional aesthetics into digital product design as a differentiated alternative to general-purpose design systems such as Material Design and major-company component libraries.
The releases of Apple iOS 7 in 2013 and Google Material Design in 2014 are regarded as watershed events marking the replacement of skeuomorphic design by flat design.
Representative design system implementations include Google's Material Design, IBM's Carbon Design System, and Shopify's Polaris.
Angular Material is a UI component library officially maintained by Google that strictly adheres to the Material Design specification.
Google的Material Design、IBM的Carbon、Ant Design都通过组件化方式让设计与代码共享同一套语言
Both Apple's iOS design language and Google's Material Design employ the principle of progressive disclosure.
