Places worth studying

Develop an eye.

Pick a detail. Work out why it works.
Build something of your own with it.

Three very different personal worlds.

References for scale, motion and the pleasure of exploring.

A useful way to practise

One reference for type. One for layout. One for interaction. Rebuild a small section privately, then use the principle with your own content. Compare desktop and mobile. Fix the largest difference first.

For motion: make the response explain the action. A key compresses. A creature turns toward you. A released object settles. Then check that it still works without the animation.
