Until other eyes have seen it

Almost every time I turn in a project I am pretty satisfied with the way that it turned out, for the most part at least. That is until I have someone else look at it. Just when I think that I have done everything that I can to make the design the best that it will be, someone else comes along and rips it apart and it feels like I have to start back at the beginning, with a new sketch and everything. But this can also be a good thing I guess.

We did a critique all day on Monday but the fun thing about those is that you get to see the brains of other people and just what they see when you look at your design. Obviously you know what you want people to see and from your eyes, it is obvious what they are trying to look at. But not everyone’s brains work the same.

Getting feedback to make things better always intrigues me because you really are never completely done with a design. There is always something that can be changed even in the slightest. But the fun part is hearing how everybody would change my design to make it better and while adding up 30 different ideas into one updated version can be difficult, there is always information that is given during critiques that make you excited about updating your design.
