Designing with Google Material

By Ash Banaszek

Elevator Pitch

Material is an exciting idea in design and stakeholders love it. But… what if your application isn’t mobile and isn’t simple? What if your application is chalked full of data or requires a large monitor to run? Material falls down with larger, complex screens, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Description

Join Ash Banaszek, a seasoned User Experience Designer as they untangle Material from mobile. Material design has a rather well documented set of recommendations and practices on material.io. Unfortunately, many of those standards and practices assume that everything you make has to be simple and will likely be on mobile. This is not a reality for a lot of software developers creating complex business applications. Of course you want everything to be intuitive and excellent to use, but some things just cannot be made simple. If you are struggling to apply Material design to your business applications, this is the talk for you. Ash will discuss how Material is being implemented in designs, lessons learned, and the rules they had to bend or flat-out break. Let’s design with Google Material.
