Design Critiques

This semester, we'll have several design critiques.

Good critiques go beyond “I like this” or “this doesn’t work” and goes into specifics, reasons, research and educated observations. My goal is for the sophistication of our critiques and comments to increase along with our knowledge and experience. You’ll learn to think critically about interface decisions, overall web design and usability. You’ll learn how techniques from sound to motion design can enhance a project and when they can detract.

For critiques posted on Slack, please be as detailed as possible. Screenshots (⌘ + Shift + 4 + drag) and screencasts go a long way in conveying feedback. They don’t have to be long, but they do have to say something substantive.

Critique Etiquette

It is especially important that you show respect to your peers. Criticisms should be toward the work, not the person who made it.

Disrespect will not be tolerated.
