Design Critiques

I was checking out Veerle’s site today, because her articles show up in my google reader. She wrote on design critiquing and you should really read it here. However, I am going to highlight some things.

Everybody has an opinion and tastes differ. That’s why you can’t create a design that everyone will like.

Agreed. I am often tired of many managers who come over and end up battering your designs into nothing. This is from experience. I also especially liked that she covered that clients usually tend to change the design as well. Please read the rest at her site.

I know what you mean, especially on the client aspect. Sadly that’s the nature of the beast that we call our industry, but it’s always good to find a balance between giving what the client or manager wants while also getting what you know is right for the design/user experience.
