         | On the other hand, if you want a lighter introduction to
         | design, try watching one of Gary Hustwit's films like
         | Helvetica, Objectified, or Rams. Or read the Design of Everyday
         | Things by Don Norman.

           | I can vouch for the Design of Everyday Things too (granted I
           | got the advice from another HN post). It's a brilliant book
           | that exposes you to some of the common pitfalls of product
           | design and gives you many mental frameworks to work with to
           | embrace your designs' shortcomings and, most importantly,
           | address them.

       | 't improve.
       | 
       | Design, and UI design is a pretty hard thing to learn theory
       | first. You gotta put it into practice by making something,
       | thinking critically about it (and seek critique from others) and
       | then remaking.
       | 
       | Just to throw another approachable resource in.

       | Open figma and start making something!
