And just like you, I can feel <a href="http://designadaptations.com/notebook/uninspired/" rel="nofollow">uninspired</a> and down about my skills when I see a design and think "Wow, I wish I could do that." I get myself out of that funk by being productive and picking out what makes it so good and how I can mimic it. Doesn't <em>always</em> work, but it's good practice, nonetheless! And it'll help me when I'm not feeling so moody ;) Charity,

I favor articles like this with specific "here's what to look for" bullet points. This kind of bite-sized info is so helpful in dissecting a design, as you mentioned in your comment on my post.I can look at good design all day and know it's good (or look at bad design and know it's bad), but this post helped me realize that unless I'm looking for something specific, it doesn't do much good. I never thought of in terms like that. Great post Lauren, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. I favor articles like this with specific “here’s what to look for” bullet points.
