Arrange reference pictures so they are easy to review.
What you will learn.
Arrange three credited references so a viewer can compare useful details without losing source context.
Before you begin.
Optional guide. Finish Look at design every day first. Reuse three pictures from your credited daily collection where possible; do not collect another full daily set. Skip if you can already make a readable, credited comparison board and inspect its export.
Learn the concept.
A reference board is for comparison, not for claiming another person’s work as yours. Equal space, a purposeful crop, aligned edges, and consistent gaps help a viewer compare details. Keep the full source beside any crop so context is not lost.
Words to know.

The idea in practice
See a worked example.
Start with three credited screenshots.
For exampleChoose three credited screenshots from the existing Daily practice set and keep each full image.
Align and crop only to support one comparison.
For exampleCompare the same detail in each: align the top edges, give equal space, and crop only if it makes the detail easier to see.
Reopen the export and inspect context and credits.
For exampleReopen the exported board at normal size. Check all three details and credits are readable, and keep the full sources for context.
