3. Backgrounds
16 Material Design Backgrounds
I don't know about you, but I really like the Material Design wallpapers and backgrounds designers are creating. They are great for mobile, web, or as a desktop wallpaper.
10 Material Design Backgrounds
This item includes exactly what it says on the tin, ten beautiful Material Design backgrounds.
More Material Design Backgrounds
If you can't get enough of Material Design and want a few backgrounds, say 45, as a wallpaper for your computer, then this item is for you. The item includes a wide range of color combinations to fit everyone's needs.
Even More Material Design Backgrounds
Okay. This is one more set of Material Design backgrounds. The backgrounds included in this set are a bit more fancy. The item includes twelve backgrounds in various color combinations.
20 Material Design Backgrounds
I promise that this is the last set of Material Design backgrounds. If there's one thing I really like about Material Design, it's the color schemes and how Material Design plays with shadows and offsets.
4. Icons
Icons are an important part of mobile. The screens of mobile devices are often too small to include a lot of text and, therefore, icons are better suited for mobile user interfaces. GraphicRiver offers many, many icon sets. I'm sure you can find a set that perfectly fits your project's needs.
Material Design Icons
If your application adopts Google's Material Design guidelines, then you'll need icons that fit those guidelines. This item includes more than 700 icons you can use in your Material Design applications. Note that this set of icons can be used anywhere you like, native Android applications, web, desktop, etc.
Material Line Icons
This item includes no less than 240 line icons, ready to be used in your next mobile project. The item includes vector files, but, if you're in a hurry, it also includes PNG files you can just drop in your project. With 240 icons, virtually every commonly used icon is included.
More Icons
This icon pack includes 36 multipurpose Material Design icons for your next Android project. They are easy to edit so you can modify them to your project's needs.
5. Miscellaneous
Android App Mockup
Beautiful and compelling product shots of your application are a great way to feature your application. Screenshots aren't always the best solution for this. With these device mockups, you can insert screenshots of your application to do them justice.
This item includes eight high resolution scenes in which you can showcase your application. The templates are easy to use. Open the Photoshop file you like, insert your application's screenshot, and render the result.
Make Your Pick
