Understanding the Density of Material Design

Recognizing the best-in-class designs from around the community.

Google revealed the material design system to the world one year ago at Google I/O 2014. Since then, our Material UX team has watched excitedly as designers and developers have begun to implement our guidelines across platforms and products, delivering material experiences to millions of users. While we are delighted and humbled by the positive reception, we recognize that good design is never done, and we are committed to expanding and improving the system based on feedback from our community of makers.
In that spirit, we want to recognize the individuals, teams and companies that have made the promise of material design that much more of a reality with our first-ever Material Design Awards. The Material Design Awards encourage and recognize excellence in applying material design in the creation of engaging user experiences, and are highlighted in a collection on the Google Play store. The six winners honored at this year’s Google I/O conference represent best-in-class applications of specific aspects of material design.
