Master List of Design Exercises
Be sure to create a brief to guide you and give rationale to your choices.
1. Find "bad" design and remake it
2. Recreate something for the sake of practice, then recreate it with your own twist
3. Same as above but with tutorials. Follow them explicitely for the sake of learning a new method. Then do it again with your own twist.
4. Use freelance contests for prompts. Maybe submit your design?
5. Make a logo for a random wikipedia page
6. Try hand lettering a logotype you found.
7. Try creating the rest of the alphabet too and writing other words with it!
8. Recreate cool logos and designs you see but using a fictional brand (maybe myself?)
9. Participate in r/Photoshopbattles. Design a t-shirt or ad using the photo. Make maybe an album cover for r/fakealbumcovers
10. Rebrand or retarget an ad. For example, make a fast food ad into a fancy restaurant ad.
11. Rebrand movies and album covers into different genres. Make Titanic into a action movie. Make Taylor Swift into a metal band.
12. Seek critique and then rework the design based on that.
