Expect a new look from Android across platforms

Earlier today, Google has shown the public of what the new Android “L” will look like when it is officially released. With it, the company announced a new universal design language called Material Design that aims to give a consistent, unified look across platforms.

The new look will be running on a developer tool called Polymer which will make the design tools for mobile available for web as well. The plan is to see this design whether you’re on your smartphone, tablet, computer, smarwatch, or TV — similar to how Apple does it with their design patterns. It will have new and different animation capabilities, built-in real time UI shadows, and “hero” elements that can be passed from screen to screen.

In addition, the elements should remind its users of “print-based design typography with deliberate color choices, edge-to-edge imagery, large-scale typography, and intentional white space to create a bold and graphic interface that immerses the user in the experience.”

It was reported that this is a way for Google to prove that they can keep up with Apple in terms of design. What do you think of the new layout? Is it a refreshing look for Android or it seems to remind you of Microsoft’s Metro UI?

    As long wala na totally ang lag, it’s fine with me. Mga android phones ngayon kahit sabihin mo pang quadcore na eh may lag parin.

    “It was reported that this is a way for Google to prove that they can keep up with Apple in terms of design.”

    But isn’t “print-based design typography” or “content before chrome” is Microsoft’s Modern UI design language (formerly Metro) key design principle?
