The document discusses the Metro design language created by Microsoft for Windows Phone 7. It focuses on typography over graphics and is inspired by public transport signage. Key principles of Metro include being light, clean, open, and fast while focusing on content. The author gathered visual references of Metro and similar designs from websites, apps, Windows 8, dashboards, mobility uses, and miscellaneous examples to help generate new interface ideas.

3. So, why again…
So, being a User experience guy, I also started getting request of
getting applications, dashboards, websites which needs have the
feel of Metro Design, and that’s where my quest started, searched
extensively on the internet to gather more and more information and
references… how other are working with Metro UI or Metro Like
UI…
And I gathered quite a hand full of visuals, which will help me in
enormous way to generate new ideas. And after couple of my
projects, I thought of accumulating all the references so that in
future I can refer the same. In this process this documentation
emerged, and it’s more of a visual references of Metro UI or Metro
Like of the screen shots are taken from Internet and it includes couple of my project
most UI.
