I am one of those people who gets pretty excited whenever there is a software update for my phone or for a favorite app like Evernote (I’ve been loving their recent desktop version updates so much by the way). I make sure to read the release notes and notice the design changes in the user interface.
When I download a new app I almost always take screenshots of the introduction tutorial presentation. I enjoy the wording the developers/designers carefully curate and images they select to match it. These habits and screenshots feed my visual taste of what looks good and what doesn’t. It’s a very important skill to hone because taste does get better with experience and practice.
Are you working on your design skills?
