MATERIAL : CARDS
The Material Design Lite (MDL) card component is a user interface element representing a virtual piece of paper that contains related data — such as a photo, some text, and a link — that are all about a single subject.
Cards are a convenient means of coherently displaying related content that is composed of different types of objects. They are also well-suited for presenting similar objects whose size or supported actions can vary considerably, like photos with captions of variable length. Cards have a constant width and a variable height, depending on their content.
