Copying good designs is a great way to build your design skills if you’re getting started in design.

When I say copying good designs, what I mean is finding a design you like and rebuilding it in your design tool of choice to learn how it’s put together. You’ll never share this work publicly, but with practice, you’ll learn the features that make up an effective design.

Copying websites will improve how you design websites. However, looking at design through different mediums is an even better way to improve your eye for design.

Let’s look at how you can improve your design skills with Netflix.

Let’s dive into the process to see how it works.
