The field of UI design is developing faster today than it ever has before. More tools, cleverer users, and different devices change the nature of how digital products look and feel. As we transition into 2026, a focus on clarity, accessibility, and the person using those experiences instead of the reverse is coming into view.

In the world of design, creating visually appealing and effective work goes beyond mere aesthetics. It requires a deep understanding of fundamental principles that guide every decision a designer makes. These principles, often referred to as the 7 principles of design, are the foundation upon which successful designs are built. Whether you are designing a website, a logo, a poster, or any other visual content, these principles ensure that your work is not only beautiful but also functional and impactful.

Material Design was developed by Google in 2014 as a design language. Its core idea is to create a visual language that synthesizes classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science. Material Design focuses on a more tangible user interface, where elements are treated like physical objects with surfaces, edges, and shadows, ensuring a clean and consistent experience across different platforms and devices.
