About the Design Patterns assessment

Designers can use UX/UI design patterns to solve recurring problems without having to start from scratch every time. Dark patterns, however, can shatter users’ trust in a brand forever. This skill test will assess your understanding of design patterns and how well you can distinguish between good and misleading interfaces.
