How I mastered clean UI design

Tactical steps I took to design sleek Ul's. Learning from real apps will not only strengthen your design muscles but also increase your speed and make you a better designer! It's a very effective practice to copy real apps pixel-by-pixel and learn how they use the core principles of typography, colors, spacing, etc.

Let me know what do you think about this approach in the comments! I'll be happy to answer your questions and feedback.

Struggling with designing clean UI?
Copying real apps not only helps you master design skills but also help you learn how systems are used in big companies to design products.

Typography

Understanding what type-scales companies used helped me achieve a consistent hierarchy. Letter-spacing & line height made a huge difference too.

my favorite app to copy for perfect typography systems.

Spacing & Padding

Having a consistent and hierarchial spacing system for components and layouts gives your design a breath! I normally use a 4px spacing system.
