Material design is a design language developed by Google and announced at the Google I/O conference on June 25, 2014. Expanding upon the ""card"" motifs first seen in Google Now, it is a cleaner design with increased use of grid-based layouts, responsive animations and transitions, padding, and depth effects such as lighting and shadows. Designer Matías Duarte explained that ""unlike real paper, our digital material can expand and reform intelligently. Material has physical surfaces and edges. Seams and shadows provide meaning about what you can touch.""
Material design is used in Android L, which (as of August 2014) is the newest version of the Android operating system slated to be released toward the end of 2014. Material design is also used in Google Drive and Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and will be gradually extended throughout the Google's array of web and mobile products (including Google Search, Gmail and Google Calendar), providing a consistent experience across all platforms and applications. Google has also released application programming interfaces (APIs) for third-party developers to incorporate the design language into their applications.
