The public nature of design critiques used in education may adversely quiet gentile voices. Those with social anxiety are overwhelmed by this affront
to their propriety and sense of peace. Does public scrutiny and pointed
criticism help one become a better designer? Well, yes. Is it required to make
you a better designer? No, not necessarily.
Public critiques can have a homogenizing affect as we try to communally agree on what is good and bad design. The intrusion of AI makes this effect broader as we move from friends and classmate’s opinions to some algorithm rooted in established data or normalized rules.
Almost all of my work has been improved by the critique of
others. However, there are categories of my work in which I don’t want critiques.
I want only to be a songbird in the forest.
