Material Design (codenamed Quantum Paper){{cite web|title= Exclusive: Quantum Paper And Google's Upcoming Effort To Make Consistent UI Simple|url= http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/06/11/exclusive-quantum-paper-and-googles-upcoming-effort-to-make-consistent-ui-simple/|website=Techcrunch|date= 11 June 2014|access-date= 11 June 2014}} is a design language developed by Google in 2014. Expanding on the "cards" that debuted in Google Now, Material Design uses more grid-based layouts, responsive animations and transitions, padding, and depth effects such as lighting and shadows. Google announced Material Design on June 25, 2014, at the 2014 Google I/O conference.{{cite web|title= Material design|url= https://www.popwebdesign.net/material-design.html|website=PopArt Studio|access-date= 10 April 2024}}

The main purpose of Material Design is the creation of a new visual language that combines principles of good design with technical and scientific innovation. 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." Google states that their new design language is based on paper and ink but implementation takes place in an advanced manner.{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2014/06/25/googles-new-design-language-is-called-material-design/|title=Google's new 'Material Design' UI coming to Android, Chrome OS and the web|website=Engadget|date=25 June 2014 |access-date=26 June 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.fastcodesign.com/3032378/googles-new-improved-android-will-deliver-a-unified-design-language|title=Google's New, Improved Android Will Deliver A Unified Design Language|website=Co.Design|date=25 June 2014 |access-date=26 June 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/8207/google-reveals-details-about-android-l-at-google-io|title=Google Reveals Details About Android L at Google IO|website=Anandtech|access-date=26 June 2014}}

In 2018, Google detailed a revamp of the language, with a focus on providing more flexibility for designers to create custom "themes" with varying geometry, colors, and typography. In 2021, a further evolution of the design language, titled Material You, was unveiled.{{Cite web|last=Bohn|first=Dieter|date=2021-05-18|title=Android 12 preview: first look at Google's radical new design|url=https://www.theverge.com/22439777/android-12-design-features-widgets-first-look-google|access-date=2021-05-19|website=The Verge|language=en}}

Implementation

Material Design was to be gradually extended throughout Google's array of web and mobile products, 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.{{cite web|author=Chris Smith|date=30 July 2014|title=Google's Material Design is about to change the way we look at the worldwide web|url=http://bgr.com/2014/07/30/google-drive-material-design-update/|publisher=BGR}}{{cite web|title=We just played with Android's L Developer Preview|url=https://www.engadget.com/2014/06/26/android-developer-preview-hands-on/|access-date=26 June 2014|website=Engadget|date=26 June 2014 |publisher=AOL}}{{cite web|title=Google's next big Android redesign is coming in the fall|url=https://www.theverge.com/2014/6/25/5841302/google-announces-the-next-android|access-date=26 June 2014|website=The Verge|date=25 June 2014 |publisher=Vox Media}}
