Reenacting UI design
When I started working in webdesign, my boss told me about one of the first exercises art students are due when they start their courses. The teacher would give his students a piece of art, and the exercise consisted of reproducing this piece of art on their own. The point of this exercise is learning to actually look at the piece of art and its creative process, as opposed to looking at it as a finished piece.
I’m particularly impressed by some video game interfaces and website designs - I feel it would be a good thing to try and recreate some of them. I might even learn a thing or two in the process.
