10 Material Design cards for web in CSS & HTML

Card-based design has become one of the most talked about digital design trends in recent months, skyrocketing after the Material Design announcement at Google’s I/O annual developers conference in 2014.

 

 

As predicted by many popular web design blogs and magazines, cards will dominate web and mobile design within next few years. As a matter of fact, we can already see how largest companies and websites are moving towards this design shift: Twitter, Facebook, Google, Pinterest, LinkedIn – they are all using card-based design. Web browsers such as Firefox or Safari are also heavily using card elements. And of course, cards are fundamental elements of mobile OS and majority of apps.

Cards are the easiest yet most effective way to fit content on different types and sizes of screen and display it across all platforms using same design style. Needless to say, cards are one of the most significant Material Design elements.
We compiled a list of stand-alone Material Design cards in CSS as well as completed HTML source codes from Codepen and GitHub.

  1. that is my favorite card based design: http://www.intentionallies.co.jp/content_normal.html move the cards around and click.
    This is Flash based and 10(!) years old now and still looks like it is coming from future. Does anybody now a similar card behavior in HTML5? it shouldn’t be too difficult to make because there are some good JS physics libs around (moving around like in that example on different points of card is not trivial otherwise).

    Hi Flying Dog, thanks for the comment. Maybe this would help? It’s not entirely what you are looking for , but it’s quite interesting plugin http://tympanus.net/Development/Baraja/

    1. Hi, this is a very interesting demo, thanks! But I wanted to point out the combination of physics behavior (like Box2D) + zoom with HTML5 cards. That would be new.

    2. Hi, I implemented it now in HTML5 and wrote a blog article about it coming with full source code:

    I noticed that the material design docs don’t include ‘flip’ as an action that cards can take. I generally find them extremely opinionated about limiting the interaction (as any good framework should be). What are your thoughts on that and how do we reconcile adding new interactions that aren’t included in the design docs?

    The material design ripple effect is busted on the subscribe button on this website. (Talking about a minor style bug in the lightbox that appears when you scroll to the bottom of the article.) It works in Chrome, but not in Firefox/IE because of a math calculation that isn’t robust across browsers.


    jQuery(‘#wpmchimpa .wpmchimpa-subs-button’).click(function(e){

    // this coordinate calculation doesn’t work in Firefox/IE

    var top = e.pageY – rect.top – ripple.offsetHeight / 2 – document.body.scrollTop;
    var left = e.pageX – rect.left – ripple.offsetWidth / 2 – document.body.scrollLeft;

    });

    try changing your calculation to this, it should fix the bug:
    var de = document.documentElement;
    var top = e.pageY – (rect.top + window.pageYOffset – de.clientTop) – (ripple.offsetHeight / 2);
    var left = e.pageX – (rect.left + window.pageXOffset – de.clientLeft) – (ripple.offsetWidth / 2);

  6. Nice cards!
