Ask DN: How do you get/give critique in your design process? - 2min Survey(bryce28.typeform.com)

    Really good idea. I completed the mini survey.

    Some thoughts about design feedback:

    If you are critiquing: Be brutally honest as politeness leads to potential problems, misunderstandings and delays.

    If you are being reviewed: Don't take it personal but professional, be open to the critique and listen, but also be confident to defend your idea if necessary.

      Thanks for filling out the form, Ale!

      We definitely agree with your comments on critique. There's too much sugar-coating on most design "show-and-tell" websites, so we want to make a community focused on being serious about improvement. That said, we do believe there is a line between criticism and cruelty, but it's easy to tell which is which!

      Good points Ale, Would you be interested in writing an article about that? We've been trying to collect articles around best practices for critique. They give us a jumping off point for a platform but it's a great thought leadership exercise for authors too.
