We don't always have to reinvent the wheel...but we always want to make it our own.
As an architect turning into UX design, I can’t underestimate the power of “copying” or what I like to call “replenishing my eyes” meaning we have to look at a lot of existing design, presentation styles, or concepts so we can come with our own.
One thing I mostly do when I’m tasked with something I’m not yet confident in or what to get better, I do an exercise exactly like that. I take a photo/picture or model and try to copy it as mush as I can.
Then I can learn new techniques or train my eyes to see different things that the pros do that I can incorporate in my future designs.
I was already planning to do something like that when I’m doing the UI design of my very first concept app.
Amazing use-case, thanks for sharing! That’s exactly the right approach 🔥
This is great! I have copied a few screens before to practice using Figma but I like how you added a layer of asking yourself why and being able to learn from that angle too. Thanks so much :)
You bet! Glad it was helpful :)
great advise. I enjoyed it. Keep it up!
Amazing video as always.... I first learned how to use figma and tried to get myself used to it before hoping into the UX part .... But yeah, wish I had come across your video at that time so I could speed things up for myself because I did all that on my own and it can get pretty frustrating in the beginning
Never too late to improve, glad you found me when you did! Stick with it :)
Nice video! thanks
Could you make a video of creating a portfolio in figma, please

Thank you so much for this great Tip... I am learning UX/ product design and m struggling in whiteboarding the thoughts .. please make a viedo on that. You are doing a good job by sharing these simple yet effective tips.. Thanks you once again
Thank YOU for watching, so glad you're finding it helpful it's really nice to hear :)
Exactly! although other says inspiration but to you is copy and I agree
Great idea, I’ve started from today using this method. One question is that mobbin’s screen shots are large, would it be ideal to scale down to the base pixel size so you can assess their metrics better? E.g I went with a iPhone 13 & 14 frame size
Yes 100% - great point actually. Better to scale them down to an iPhone 14 pro size 😊
Hello, good afternoon, I have a question, I am from Colombia and I am studying ux ui and I know a little English but not enough to make video calls with users, would that harm me when it comes to getting clients?
hy sir i am currently leaning UI/UX design and like you told in this video to create effective UI you have to do practice now i am going to practive those but the feeling i am facing these days is if i learn anything it still feels like it is not enough it feel like you are not gonna make it in this field what can i do Now i am learning about typography but still i am confused 😔
Hi, I stumbled upon your video randomly. My ui designs suck making them unappealing to look at.This video shed some light on to focus my self more to UX.Thank you. I just have 1 question.It is just that I always seem to have a blank mind when it comes to looking for inspiration in web design.I feel like I’m cheating and don’t know how I should draw inspiration like do I copy the whole layout or the only the graphic elements only.Can you do a video on how to create a website by using inspirations like on exactly how should we draw inspiration with a example?
Your UI can always get better - use the copying method I talked about here to practice, it honestly helps SO much. Copying isn't cheating - obviously don't copy everything exactly, but use elements from other websites that you like and make them your own!
Great suggestion for a video, will absolutely do that!
@@leanderangst Thank you
less face, more ui
