Google’s new ‘Material Design’ UI coming to Android, Chrome OS and the web
Google’s annual I/O developer keynote has only just begun, but already we’re being treated to some of its announcements. In a bid to create a new “visual language” for users, Google is taking the design of Android, Chrome OS, and web properties back to basics with its new “Material Design.” According to Google, Material Design organizes interactions and makes better use of space, serving different views of the same content when viewed on a smartphone, tablet or desktop. Google’s Android apps will be updated to reflect this change, and you may have seen it in early Gmail and Calendar app leaks.
