PENCILS DOWN, IDEAS UP: NAVIGATING DESIGN CRITIQUES WITH GRACE AND GRIT

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

In this article, the VP of Product Design at Slack discusses the importance of critique in the design process and offers advice for receiving and giving design feedback. People receiving critiques need to separate themselves from their work when seeking feedback, take control of the critique session, provide context for the design work, and actively listen to feedback. On the giving side, critiquers should be courteous, ask questions for clarity, be direct in their feedback, focus on the project's goals, and promote group dialogue for more robust discussions.
