Mastering the Painless Design Critique
A design critique is one of the best ways for a designer to better understand how to improve their work and create great designs. The feedback we get through a formal critique can help us make better decisions, overcome obstacles, and strengthen our craft. However, receiving a critique is probably one of the hardest things we'll do in our work, and if delivered poorly, we can end up feeling demotivated, or even defeated. Join us for a critique workshop, where you will learn from an experienced design director what goes into an effective (and painless!) design critique.
