Discussing Design : The Art of Critique Improving the conversation around design IXDA NYC - Oct. 10th 2013
So, what is critique?
It’s laid out too much like [popular service]. We should be different. The new Spotify design is perhaps even worse than the old Spotify design. The visual hierarchy and underlying IA are terrible. No. That won’t work. What if we do it this way... It needs more flululululuh!! The wireframes are still not answering our problem and are not providing enough an easier solution for the page. Change the order of the screens so that the 3rd and first one are switched. It doesn't have enough spunk. What kind of company shuts down a much-loved service like Google Reader but keeps the vegetative Google Plus? We're disappointed in this solution. We're going to have our own designers come up with one. Looks ugly. Make it pretty. What. The hell. Is this? I would never use this. I don’t like the layout. We should make that a dropdown instead of radio buttons. None of this is what I asked for. This is terrible. I have no idea what the lines mean. I like the paper form better. I'm just not feeling it. I don't know what, but it isn't right yet. Just needs to be more innovative. Make it look more like SharePoint. Here is a rewrite. My intention is to sharpen the language, make it more precise.

Critique is about critical thinking.
At their foundation is intent. There are two facets to critique: giving and receiving.
Giving critique with the wrong intent is selfish.
Giving critique with the right intent is selfless.
Tips for giving critique
Tips for giving critique Use a filter. Gather initial thoughts and reactions. Revisit them in the right context.
Tips for giving critique Use a filter. Gather initial thoughts and reactions. Revisit them in the right context. Don’t assume. Find out the reason behind thinking, constraints or other variables.
Tips for giving critique Don’t invite yourself. Get in touch and ask to chat about the design. Use a filter. Gather initial thoughts and reactions. Revisit them in the right context. Don’t assume. Find out the reason behind thinking, constraints or other variables.

Find out the reason behind thinking, constraints or other variables. Lead with questions. Show an interest in their process. Talk about strengths. Critique isn’t just about the things that aren’t working.
Receiving critique with the right intent takes humility and a bit of restraint.
Tips for receiving critique
Tips for receiving critique Remember the purpose. Critique is about understanding and improvement, not judgement.
Tips for receiving critique Remember the purpose. Critique is about understanding and improvement, not judgement. Listen and think before you talk back. Do you understand what the critics are saying?
Tips for receiving critique Remember the purpose. Critique is about understanding and improvement, not judgement. Listen and think before you talk back. Do you understand what the critics are saying? Participate. Analyze your proposed solution with everyone else.

Participate. Analyze your proposed solution with everyone else. Set the right foundation. Use knowledge and prior agreements to get everyone on the same page.
A framework for critique
A framework for critique What problem was the designer trying to solve or what goal were they trying to achieve?
A framework for critique What problem was the designer trying to solve or what goal were they trying to achieve? How did the designer try to solve that problem or achieve that goal?
A framework for critique How effective is what the designer did at solving the problem or achieving the goal? What problem was the designer trying to solve or what goal were they trying to achieve? How did the designer try to solve that problem or achieve that goal?
A framework for critique How effective is what the designer did at solving the problem or achieving the goal? What problem was the designer trying to solve or what goal were they trying to achieve? How did the designer try to solve that problem or achieve that goal? Why is or isn’t what the designer did effective?
More things to think about
More things to think about Are there any problems the designer could or should have solved, but didn’t?
More things to think about Are there any problems the designer could or should have solved, but didn’t? Do any new problems arise as a result of the choices the designer made?
More things to think about Are there any problems the designer could or should have solved, but didn’t? Do any new problems arise as a result of the choices the designer made? These kinds of questions can be important to think about and ask, but be prepared for them to be beyond the scope of the designer’s work, and therefore not something to focus the remainder your critique on.

    So, what iscritique?
  • 4.
    It’s laid outtoo much like [popular service]. We should be different. The new Spotify design is perhaps even worse than the old Spotify design. The visual hierarchy and underlying IA are terrible. No. That won’t work. What if we do it this way... It needs more flululululuh!! The wireframes are still not answering our problem and are not providing enough an easier solution for the page. Change the order of the screens so that the 3rd and first one are switched. It doesn't have enough spunk. What kind of company shuts down a much-loved service like Google Reader but keeps the vegetative Google Plus? We're disappointed in this solution. We're going to have our own designers come up with one. Looks ugly. Make it pretty. What. The hell. Is this? I would never use this. I don’t like the layout. We should make that a dropdown instead of radio buttons. None of this is what I asked for. This is terrible. I have no idea what the lines mean. I like the paper form better. I'm just not feeling it. I don't know what, but it isn't right yet. Just needs to be more innovative. Make it look more like SharePoint. Here is a rewrite. My intention is to sharpen the language, make it more precise.

    More things tothink about Are there any problems the designer could or should have solved, but didn’t? Do any new problems arise as a result of the choices the designer made? These kinds of questions can be important to think about and ask, but be prepared for them to be beyond the scope of the designer’s work, and therefore not something to focus the remainder your critique on.
