Part 1: Inspiration hunt
Integrate a daily 15-minute design inspiration ritual into your routine. Squeeze it in during your coffee break, train ride, or while waiting for your dinner to cook. Make it a habit!
- Browse websites for design inspiration. Check Inspiration and Design Patterns
- Save captivating examples to a dedicated folder on your computer or Pinterest board.
- At first, focus only on the first impression - do you like it or not?
Part 2: Quick analysis
Review your collection and analyze it; you can do this at a different time (for example, in the evening).
For every saved screen, ask yourself:
- What problem did the design solve?
- What stood out to you in this design? Are there any standout features or layouts worth remembering? Be specific.
- Look for common elements and categorize designs by style or type.
Part 3: Analyze
Select one screen for a deeper analysis. As you progress in your learning, add the next steps based on what you've learned. Deeply analyze at least 1 screen a week.
