Material Design is a visual design system developed by Google. It includes standards for typography, grid, color, interactive elements, use of space, and motion.
Core principles:
- Material — a metaphor. Uses real physical properties to imitate object behavior (lifting, shadow).
- Bold, graphic, intentional — emphasis on typography, color palette, and imagery to create hierarchy and meaning.
- Motion — meaningful. Transitions and animations help users orient themselves and understand what happened.
Key components and rules:
- Color: Use of primary (primary, secondary colors) and auxiliary (surface, background, error, status bar) palettes. Consistent color scheme.
- Typography: Defined fonts (e.g., Roboto, Open Sans), sizes, and styles (headline, title, body, caption) for different text hierarchy levels.
- Icons: Uniform style, size, shape, and line thickness. Vector images.
- Structure and navigation: Use of standard elements: App bar, Navigation drawer, Bottom navigation bar.
- Space: Adherence to standard spacing, margins, element sizes (e.g., steps of 4dp or 8dp).
- Shadow and elevation: Use of shadows to create depth and highlight interactive elements (e.g., buttons). Greater elevation = more prominent shadow.
- Forms: Use of rounded corners, shapes for buttons, cards, and other elements.
- States: Clear visual representation of element states (enabled, disabled, focused, pressed).
- Data input: Standardized input fields (Text fields) with hints and error indicators.
- Dialogs and messages: Use of standard dialog windows and Snackbars for notifications.
UI standards in Material Design aim to create an intuitive, consistent, and pleasant user experience across different devices and platforms.
