Design Review
Use when a design artifact needs independent quality review before implementation or release.
Procedure
- Confirm the user goal, product constraints, target platforms, and design intent.
- Walk the primary flow and important alternate/error/empty/loading states.
- Check information hierarchy, interaction clarity, consistency, responsive behavior, accessibility, and alignment with the design system or brand.
- Identify ambiguity that would force implementers to invent behavior.
- Rank findings by user impact and implementation risk.
- Provide concrete recommendations while preserving the designer's ownership of the final solution.
Quality gate
The review is complete when critical states and interactions are understandable enough to implement without guesswork and material usability/accessibility risks are explicit.
