You can test your skills by taking short well-crafted lessons. It's also gamified and freemium.

I do try to do this, outside of digital also. I need to do a better job of getting my thoughts onto paper and building on them.

Recently I've started redesigning the apps from my country that feel very clunky to me.

As mentioned before by others, in my opinion focusing on a specific problem and showing how you framed the problem is a good exercise for practicing design thinking 🧠

I just want to practice design thinking, sure I could crank out a ton of things but I would like for my reps to have some type of substance. I also could be way off the mark here

Sometimes I take screens or flows of the product I'm working on and reinterpret them w/ different or w/o constraints. Something like "What would a dark mode look like?" or “How could this look more fun”.

I find this more effective than trying out completely fictional ideas.

Oh, if you can work in industrial design projects, you can even find problems in your own daily life. I've watched this video about a product development process and it might be very helpful for this particular idea: https://youtu.be/5RJGSGTkpt0?si=fQ5csVuL208ObWa4

I'm in a weird spot where I need daily practice but those prompts are odd to me. I don't wanna "design a in car app for a fashion designer" lmao

This is very interesting. Will definitely look into this.

what are some ways to exercise my design skills if I don't wanna do dailyui or these weird random generators lol serious question.

Maybe you can create your own challenge with products you like ? And then ask an AI like chatgpt or bard to create exercises based on your expectations and inspirations ? 🤷‍♂️

You could always pick one of the prompts and expand on it? Some of them can be quite interesting, like the home automation dashboard one, and focus on solving a specific problem.

i'd argue this isn't much better than daily ui exercises. make something new, don't just redo what's already there.

I’ve been finding local businesses websites in areas that appeal to me then redesign their website.

I always have a side project going. Something that is multifaceted and let’s me explore many areas of design. I think a project with so many moving parts forces you into creating systems and into a mode of design thinking.

volunteer locally or globally. tech4good, united nations, etc https://www.unv.org/become-online-volunteer

There's a 90 day ui challenge by Michal Malewicz(https://michalmalewicz.com/), it's quite helpful they have a separate slack channel as well, so that you can get critiques and stuff. link is https://hype4.academy/.

find problems, solve them

design doesn't have to be about pixels. you will probably learn more by explicitly staying away from pixels.

The best decision is to take any service find any problem and to solve it.

I'm in the same boat, but what are seeking to practice exactly? Is it information architecture? Exploring different styles? Designing innovative ideas?

I do a fixed rate based on what’s needed from a client. I’m very open to freelance work.

Or am I being too picky? Its ok you can tell me 😂

Although I think this is a fantastic way to practice, it's not that simple to find problems, to do it every day (probably take a week), and when you find them, it might not be solved through a digital product.

How would you address these problems?

Fwiw I agree that dailyui exercises are just about designing in a vacuum (like you’re not solving a problem or thinking about an app or platform very deeply, you’re just creating visual niceness). But maybe the prompts can be a starting point for something more.

I should try to get in touch with one and give it a shot.

Appreciate you. I’m gonna check this out

Great idea! The nice thing about this exercise is you can practice thinking about what users need and how you can help make the process easier and clearer for them.
