Design Critique

Evaluate a design against the brief and the craft bar, and return changes that make it measurably better.

When to use

• A design is ready for a review before it advances.
• Work feels off and you need to name why.

Steps

1. Re-read the brief so the critique judges against the goal.
2. Assess hierarchy, clarity, and whether the eye goes where intended.
3. Check craft — spacing, type, color, and consistency.
4. Separate what works from what to change; keep the good.
5. Prioritize the changes by impact on the goal.

Output

A critique separating strengths from prioritized changes, each specific and tied to the goal, following the [[Design principles]].
