Guided build: rebuild three real screens
After this you have rebuilt three production screens in Figma closely enough that the differences are hard to find.
Why it matters
Brief: pick three screens from products you use (one list/feed, one form, one settings or detail screen) and rebuild each from a screenshot in Figma. Constraints: every screen uses auto layout throughout; all text uses text styles from a scale you defined; all colour comes from styles, not raw hex; layers are named. Then annotate each with a paragraph naming the type scale, spacing scale and hierarchy strategy you inferred. It is good when a stranger flipping between your rebuild and the original cannot immediately spot the difference. Be clear with yourself that this is a finger exercise: it demonstrates tool fluency, and it does not belong in your portfolio.
How to use this resource
Reference while building, particularly the guides on file organisation and naming. Do not read it end to end; consult it when you hit a structural question.
