Material Designs came into light from 2015 with an Android OS version 5.0, Lollipop.
Google has developed the next major version, Marshmallow 6.0 for Android, using Material Design, which offers a great elegance of User Experience and User Interfaces. Most of the branded applications on Google Playstore, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, YouTube, Google Maps, Inbox, and to a slighter extent Chrome, are built on Marshmallow 6.0 using Material Design. Even desktop web interfaces, like those in Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Inbox, have incorporated Material Design.

Material Designs is an advanced concept in design field. It is a design language that has been developed by Google. It has colors support with lot of shades and colors for designers and developers. Material Design is stated by Google Developers as “A new design language based on paper and ink”
Before getting into Material Design in details, let’s see what “polymer paper elements” is. The canonical implementation of Material Designs for Web application user interfaces is called polymer paper elements. It consists of a Polymer library, the so-called ‘paper elements collection’ and a shim that provides a web components API for browsers that do not implement the typical natively.
Let’s Get Started with Material Designs!
Material Designs is big chunks of colors, where every element can be assigned a single unique code for access. The awesome feature allowed in Material Design is “We can access any color by referring a color code for our requirements” which facilitate a developer to design more effectively and make a boost to application pleasures.
Material Design Developers will mostly focus on three main goals to attract people are Hypnotize, Simplify and Amaze with User Experience.
Futures of Material Design:
- Material Design makes further liberal use of grid-based layouts
- Responsive animations and transitions
- Exact cell padding,
- In-Depth possessions such as illumination and shades
- Speedup applications color access
- Add more Glory to apps

Hypnotize
Pleasure: The Applications should provide a feel of calm looks for folks with objective of honoring.
Real objects: The most impressive thing about humans is that they feel better with real objects instead of using buttons and clicks.
Defaults: User always like to set up manually for themes, walls, menus and all other things.

Keep eyes on Looks: Provide same themes instead of appearing with different combinations.
Notifications: Allow interrupts (Notifications) only if it’s important.
Amaze
Tricks: Keep using visual patterns and muscle memory from other Android apps development for involving more actions (Clicks, Warnings, Notifications…)
Faults: Remind users about things like memory usages, data services, restrictions and all, as not a system defaults fault and allow them to change
Sprinkle: Give feedback on actions, even if it’s just a subtle glow.
Lifting: Provide shortcuts that combines multiple inputs to users Ex: Photo gallery of photographs
Took Faster: Make apps with faster deciding choices for users using different colors.
