Let’s frame your question in the following:
- You’re applying for a web development company
- Your portfolio currently would not demonstrate your superpowers
- But a Test Project will
- You are applying for a User Interface Designer position
- In the company, they have a UX Researcher and a UX Designer in the team
- You would like to foresee the Test Project that they will give you to be able to prepare for it

One might categorize CSS experimentation into two:
- Static experimentation (visual design – layout colors, typography)
- Interactive experimentation (animations, interactivity)
Now, both could be overwhelming especially if you’ve already gotten past the visual design properties.
But yeah, that’s the way it is – whatever you’re building, you just have to take it one block at a time to be able to manage it – and lessen the overwhelmingness.

I could see this question in two aspects: the designer’s POV and the audience’s POV
- The designer’s personal POV about replicating and modifying depends on her philosophy.
- Is it OK to copy just to get it done? Is it OK to spend time to reinvent the wheel? What will the designer learn from it?
- What will the designer’s audience think about the practice of copying visual designs? What will the audience feel about a familiar experience in the design?
There are many different considerations when someone seems to have a similar UI design. I could see the thin transparent line all over the spectrum.

The most common approach in using media-query, which is also strategic, is abiding by the Mobile First principle.
- Begin your non-media queried style for mobile
- Add a media query for the next viewport size you’re designing for. For example, tablet size then desktop size
I mentioned strategic because it also tackles the concept of Less Is More or in other words, decluttering or prioritizing.
