Material Design Uses

As previously mentioned in another blog post I want to try and incorporate parts of Google's Material Design guidelines into the animated portions of the app. One I was keen to include was the use of sliding drawers off the screen to store additional information. Their reasoning behind this was to make sure the user is never 'disorientated' and always has in idea of where information is coming from/going to. This principle was used to bring in uploading screens, play search results and display more information about the video.



The other Material Design principle that caught my eye was the use of circular swipes to transition to the next screen. This was used for any instance where something was being edited through a separate screen, such as the recording of a video avatar.
