This is the new design of Google Play Kiosk
The arrival of Android L, the new version of the operating system in which Google is working, is close. And with it will come functional novelties but also visuals Something that the company of Mountain View is rushing to resolve with updates for its applications and services. The first of the tools to be updated to adapt to the new style lines has been, precisely, the last to arrive.This is Google Play Kiosco, known for bringing together news, publications and magazines of interest to the user under a single application.
Thus, Google has released a new version of this application that seeks to adapt to the lines of Material Design A style introduced at the past developer event Google I/O that puts the spotlight on thepixel depth A concept that means that all elements seen on the screen are dynamicand organically fit into the space of each menu and screen at different levels of depth Something that makes for a really fluid user experience and visual, in addition to being a very striking style.
All of these issues can be started to be enjoyed while reading the news and articles of the day from the media and publications followed by the user . Until now this process was carried out comfortably thanks to the Google card design Something that allowed us to divide the information very well by units, being able to search for more information on a topic when scrolling scroll down, read headlines and see thumbnail photos of the news, or change the section thanks to the tabs from the top. Now things change to give prominence to the images and eliminate all the superfluous elements on the screen, using the flat colorsand further exaggerating its minimalism
Although the layout of the application has not changed, the large images are one of the highlights of its redesign.And it is that these are now presented with a larger size and simulating to jump from the news item, superimposing themselves on the background. Along with this there are more contextual headers that show information of interest to the user of the different media they follow. The format of cards is not completely abandoned to divide the sections of a magazine or show the different news on the same screen, but its elements are reduced to show an image and some text without lines or elements that distract attention.
It is also worth highlighting the transition animations between menus and elements And it is one of the most remarkable features ofMaterial Design, offering a much more user experience dynamic and attractive Thus, the elements move and they adjust to their place, appearing and disappearing from the ends of the screen and not abruptly and without any place of origin, as was the case until now.
In short, a change in style that comes accompanied by the possibility of following specific topics and not just the media. Something really colorful and pleasant to use and that will mark a new stage in the history of Androidand design for applications. The new version of Google Play Kiosco has already been launched through Google Play in a way free, although we will still have to wait a little longer until it reaches Spain
