# Core Principles of Material Design

Material Design is a design language developed by Google in 2014. Expanding upon

the "card" motifs that debuted in Google Now, Material Design makes more libera
l use of grid-based layouts, responsive animations and transitions, padding, and
depth effects such as lighting and shadows.

# Metaphor
The material metaphor is the unifying theory of a rationalized space and a syste
m of motion. The material is grounded in tactile reality, inspired by the study
of paper and ink, yet technologically advanced and open to imagination and magic
.

# Bold, Graphic, Intentional

The foundational elements of print-based design—typography, grids, space, scale,
color, and use of imagery—guide visual treatments. These elements do far more t
han please the eye. They create hierarchy, meaning, and focus.

# Motion Provides Meaning

Motion focuses attention and maintains continuity through subtle feedback and co
herent transitions. As elements appear on screen, they transform and reorganize
the environment, with interactions generating new transformations.
