LUMA - Critique

Critique sessions improve designs through structured feedback. Constructive critique focuses on what works, what doesn't, and how to improve. When done well, critique is collaborative. Everyone learns, and designs get better.

Participants will improve designs together, give useful feedback, learn from others, build better solutions, share perspectives, and develop a critical eye.
Participants gain constructive critique skills, designs improve through peer review, and the team builds a stronger critique culture.
Keep the critique constructive. Time the presentations. Focus on the work, not the person. Document everything. If the group struggles with negative feedback, try sandwiching concerns between positive comments.

  1. Set the critique rules. 2. Present the design. 3. Briefly explain the context. 4. Use a feedback structure. 5. Start with positives. 6. Discuss concerns. 7. Suggest improvements. 8. Take notes. 9. Plan revisions.
