Overview

• Summary- I started a 45 Days UI Replication challenge in September 2022. It was a personal project. I decided to take a UI Screen from Dribble daily and put it on Linkedin for taking feedback.

• Purpose- It served two purposes. a) To become active on Linkedin and make connections. b) To become better at UI Design by improving the speed and quality of my work.

Results 🎉

100,000+

It resulted in a total of more than 100,000 impressions on my posts on Linkedin.

200+

I got connected to 200+ members of Linkedin, who got connected, to give advice to me or learn from me.

300%

I got about 3x faster in making any screen in Figma. Not only, the quality of my UI significantly improved. It also helped me think of more iterations of wireframes, which I did not expect initially.

Process

• Initially, I started with mobile UIs from Dribble.

• Then, I shifted to replicating real mobile apps. (After, I got this suggestion from a few people).

• Then, I moved on to website replica’s from Dribble.

• And I followed by replicating real websites and mobile apps.

• Then, I started improving the initial design by Re-designing, using my understanding.

Key Takeaways🌻

• Apart from what I thought I would learn from this project, there was some more learning: My divergent thinking improved a lot. Earlier, if I was making two wireframes of projects, now I started making 4. This happened for two reasons- I saw a lot of designs, so a lot of ideas came from that and increased in speed.

• Connections on LinkedIn are more potent than I used to think. You have a set of people, some of whom are always there to help you and provide opportunities, give advice or mentor you.
