Critiquing each other’s designs is an important part of user experience work, but unfortunately we often run into problems of ego, politeness, and less-then-helpful feedback.
This workshop will show you a simple model for facilitating design review sessions that addresses those problems. We’ll start with going over the rules, run a quick demonstration of the process, and then break attendees into groups to do their own design reviews.
So please come prepared with real projects that you’d like to get reviewed, and a lucky few of you will have your projects critiqued with a small group of peers using this model. Your projects can be anywhere from sketched ideas to interactive prototypes, or even already delivered products.
This is going to be a fun evening and you’ll leave with a great technique that you can start using in your projects right away.
What You’ll Get Out of This Presentation
- A way to get useful feedback from clients, project managers, and programmers!
- Feedback from your peers
- Deluca’s pizza!
