Course intro · Lesson 3

Look at design every day.

Find 5 web designs and 5 mobile designs on Dribbble. Save the pictures in Figma and look closely.

A bright editorial illustration about look at design every day.

What you will learn.

Save one daily set of five web and five mobile references, analyze one, and separate what is visible from what you infer.

Before you begin.

Finish Start here first. Open C27 Academy — [your name] and its Daily practice page. Use today’s five web and five mobile references if you already collected them. Do not collect another set for this lesson.

Learn the concept.

A screenshot can show a label, color, price, position, or spacing. It cannot prove that someone noticed or understood it. “The price is beside the button” is an observation; “this may make the cost easier to notice” is an inference to check later. Visual inspiration is not usability evidence.

Words to know.

Reference

A saved design picture with its creator or source link and collection date.

A source to study

Observation

A detail you can point to in the picture, such as the price beside a button.

What you can directly notice

Inference

A possible effect you think that detail may have; it is not a tested result.

An interpretation of evidence
The idea in practice

See a worked example.

Start with one picture from today’s set. The recipe answers point to visible details; “a person may notice this sooner” would be an inference, not a result the screenshot proves. Check the three answers against the picture and keep its source.

Completed example

Look at a recipe design.

Compare the recipe screens with the three answers beside them.

The supplied picture · three screens from the same recipe design.

  1. What is this design helping someone do?

    Find a recipe and follow its cooking instructions.

    The first screen lists recipes. The middle screen shows Miso Ramen, ingredients, and cooking time.

  2. What part works well? Point to it.

    The third screen shows how to cut mushrooms.

    The picture and written instructions explain the same step. A speaker control offers an audio option; the picture does not tell us whether it plays.

  3. What is confusing? What would you change?

    “Let’s Making” does not explain what happens next.

    If the button opens the cooking steps, I would call it “Start cooking.” That makes the next action clearer.
