 Material design is one of the most influential visual philosophies in design. It’s shaping

 the way people see and interact with interfaces because of clear design and usability guidelines like a  paper effect.

 graphical interface. Google’s new visual design framework is flat, elegant, and vibrant

 Material design is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across platforms  and devices. Android now includes support for material design apps.

The material theme provides a new style for our  app, system widgets that let you set their color palette, and default animations for touch feedback and activity transitions.

Material design mostly three basic concepts:

Realistic visual cues:- The design is grounded in reality and actually inspired by design       with paper and ink.

 Bold, graphic and intentional:- Fundamental design techniques drive the visuals. Typography, grids, space, scale, color and imagery guide the entire design. Elements live in defined spaces with a clear hierarchy. Color and type choices are bold and deliberate.

Motion provides meaning:- Animation is a key component of Material Design, but it can’t just be there for the sake of movement. Animations need to happen in a single environment, serve to focus the design and include simple and easy transitions. Movements and actions should mirror the physical world.
