Google Design Website gets a major revamp, offers lots of new information and guidelines

Google had introduced Material design at its last year’s Google I/O 2014 for Android Lollipop. At the time, Google had said the spec was a living document which will be updated as material design develops. There have been several updates from time to time and at Google I/O 2015, it has launched a completely revamped Google Design Website.


The website is not just a superficial makeover but is full of useful content – articles, guidelines and more. It also contains guidelines for app developers and designers which they can use while developing their own apps.


In Google’s own words, “To better capture all this great design work happening at Google and around the community, we’ve completely reconceived Google Design”.


Google has also released design guidelines for TV, Auto and Cardboard. There is an article about branding on material design and also one about designing from iOS to Android and back. The Icon Library has more than 800 material system icons which you can download. Google has also set up a new YouTube channel for Google Design  which has video tutorials on various topics.


You can check out the following videos Google has uploaded to its YouTube channel:

Android L: "Material Design", Project Volta, Improved Battery Life, and More

This year’s Google I/O conference closed yesterday and as always, had shown us myriads of new products, innovations and announcements from the search giant as well as its partners.


One of the biggest announcements that caught many people’s attentions was that of the new Android operating system called the Android L, which was announced on the first day at the conference by Google’s Sundar Pichai.


All-encompassing updates has been made to the operating system with bunches of new features added and lots of changes made. Out of which, The Android L introduced a simplified ‘Material Design’ interface, which is flatter and more colorful.


According to an in-depth review by PhoneArea, “Put in most simple terms — no design element has been spared, and even the software navigation keys have gone through a redesign (now a triangle, circle, and square). What’s more, the new look, apart from being seamless across all Google platforms, has also been simplified down to the basics, and is now flatter, more colorful, and quite a bit more likable.”


Aside from that, the OS also introduced improved search functionality, improved battery life or ‘Project Volta’ and animated actions.


“That last bit is, in a big way, a feeling influenced by the the inclusion of rich animation feedback to actions, which, in plain speak, means that essential operations, like clicking a button, switching a tab, flipping through recents, etc, will all be animated. Thankfully, all of this has been done tastefully from what we’ve seen so far, and is not overwhelming or overly flashy.” wrote PhoneArea.


Preview is available for developers with Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 smart phones.
