Core Principles
Layout Philosophy
M3 layout — from Material You foundations to M3 Expressive — focuses on:
- Clear Hierarchy: Size and spacing create visual importance
- Responsive Adaptability: Layouts work across all screen sizes
- Strategic Spacing: Consistent spacing creates rhythm and flow
- Size-Based Emphasis: Larger elements naturally draw attention
- Elevation Depth: Layered surfaces show relationships
