Material Design is Google's open-source design system, first introduced in 2014, providing guidelines, components, and tools for building consistent, visually appealing user interfaces across web, Android, and other platforms. It emphasizes principles like grid-based layouts, responsive animations, depth effects such as shadows, and intentional use of color and typography. It's used by app and web developers, particularly on Android, to create interfaces that feel familiar and cohesive with Google's own products.
