How to Develop an Eye for Design: Tips & Design Inspiration Resources

Honing your eye for design: what to do?
⚡️Browse
This profession demands you to always search for inspiration, and be watchful about the newest trends.
⚡️Recreate
See a design you really like? Try recreating it. Not for commercial use, of course, just for practice. It will help you to break down the design to the smallest elements, understand the structure that was used.
⚡️Analyze
If you see a design that inspires you, analyze it. Look for the exact reasons this visual appeals to you and other people.
⚡️Look around
Look around at what surrounds you, be present and observe the world. You will be surprised at how much you will learn from it.
