1. Backdrop
♠ A backdrop appears behind all other surfaces in an app, displaying contextual
and actionable content.
♠ A backdrop is composed of two surfaces: a back layer and a front layer.
♠ The back layer displays actions and context, and these control and inform
the front layer's content.
2.1 Advanced Design Components

Back Layer and Front Layer

Active front layer

2. Checkboxes
♠ Use checkboxes (instead of switches or radio buttons) if multiple options
can be selected from a list.
♠ Label should be scannable.
♠ Selected items are more prominent than unselected items.
♠ Unselected, selected (hover), and indeterminate checkboxes

3. Chips
♠ Use chips to show options
for a specific context.
♠ Four types:
♠ Assist
♠ Filter
♠ Input
♠ Suggestion
♠ Chip elevation defaults to
0 but can be elevated if
they need more visual
separation.

measurement
Dividers Types

Vertical divider
♠ A vertical divider can be used to arrange content on a larger screen, such as
separating paragraph text from video or imagery media.

7. Image List
♠ Image lists display a collection of images in an organized grid.
♠ Image lists represent a collection of items in a repeated pattern. They help improve
the visual comprehension of the content they hold.
Image List - Principles

Image List - Types
1. Standard image lists are best for items of equal importance.
They have a uniform container size, ratio, and
padding.
2. Quilted image lists emphasize certain items over others in a
collection. They create hierarchy using varied
container sizes and ratios.

3. Woven image lists facilitate the browsing
of peer content. They display content in
containers of varying ratios to create a
rhythmic layout.
4. Masonry image lists facilitate the
browsing of uncropped peer content.
Container heights are sized based
on the image size.

♠ Woven image list
♠ Woven image lists use alternating container ratios to create a rhythmic layout.
♠ A woven image list is best for browsing peer content.

Masonry image list
♠ Masonry image lists use
dynamically sized container heights
that reflect the aspect ratio of each
image.
♠ This image list is best used for
browsing uncropped peer content.

group. Don’t indicate the
progress of each activity in
a group.

♠ A linear progress indicator
changes from indeterminate to
determinate while loading a
screen
♠ A linear indicator at the center of the
screen indicates loading all screen
content

♠ circular indicators should be used for
short, indeterminate activities
(between 2-5 seconds). Longer activities
may require alternate methods of
communication, such as snackbars or
notifications.
♠ Don’t apply progress indicators to every
button in your app. They can
unnecessarily interrupt the user’s task.

♠ The input selector is a unique type of text field input. It differs from typical text
field inputs in that it has:
♠ An added highlight to call attention to the selected field
♠ A larger shape, size, and font
♠ A label below the field
♠ Hours and minutes should have separate inputs.
♠ For people using a 12 hour clock, an AM/PM selector appears to the right of
minutes.
♠ For people using a 24 hour clock, the AM/PM selector should not be present.

Dial selector
♠ Dial selectors always mimic a round watch face.
♠ Hours and minutes can be selected by tapping a number or dragging the dial selector
track.
♠ When representing a 12 hour dial, all numbers appear in the outer ring.
♠ When representing a 24 hour dial, even numbers appear in an inner ring, and odd
numbers appear in the outer ring.
