Google used to have such a strong visual brand with their fresh, bright, clean, and utilitarian aesthetic.
Material Design really annoys me. Dingy grey backgrounds, unnecessary boxes and shadows, and goofy animation that takes us bad to the bad days of Flash sites.
- CommanderData 10y agoI agree wholeheartedly, it feels like Google took a hundred steps back. MD is very uninspiring in my eyes.
- glenstein 10y agoI think MD is not too bad for mobile. But it becomes brutally, unforgivably incompetent at managing white space on the desktop. I hope that at some point in the future someone has a design epiphany centered around embracing information density.
- pcurve 10y agoThe irony is, their Material Design documentation is quite colorful. (and makes much better use of white space) https://material.google.com/ https://material.google.com/ The problem is, no one at Google is using them in an attractive way.
