| 9 | We focused the design of Android around three overarching goals, which apply |
| 10 | to our core apps as well as the system at large. As you design apps to work |
| 11 | with Android, consider these goals: <em>Enchant me</em>, <em>Simplify my |
| 12 | life</em>, and <em>Make me amazing</em> |

| 20 | <h4>Enchant me</h4> |
| 21 | <p>Beauty is more than skin deep. Android apps are sleek and aesthetically pleasing on multiple levels. |
| 22 | Transitions are fast and clear; layout and typography are crisp and meaningful. App icons are works |
| 23 | of art in their own right. Just like a well-made tool, your app should strive to combine beauty, |
| 24 | simplicity and purpose to create a magical experience that is effortless and powerful.</p> |

| 29 | <h4>Simplify my life</h4> |
| 30 | <p>Android apps make life easier and are easy to understand. When people use your app for the first |
| 31 | time, they should intuitively grasp the most important features. The design work doesn't stop at the |
| 32 | first use, though. Android apps remove ongoing chores like file management and syncing. Simple tasks |
| 33 | never require complex procedures, and complex tasks are tailored to the human hand and mind. People |
| 34 | of all ages and cultures feel firmly in control, and are never overwhelmed by too many choices or |
| 35 | irrelevant flash.</p> |

| 40 | <h4>Make me amazing</h4> |
| 41 | <p>It's not enough to make an app that is easy to use. Android apps empower people to try new things |
| 42 | and to use apps in inventive new ways. Android lets people combine applications into new workflows |
| 43 | through multitasking, notifications, and sharing across apps. At the same time, your app should feel |
| 44 | personal, giving people access to superb technology with clarity and grace.</p> |
