Hi, I'm Nick.

3
00:00:10,558 --> 00:00:15,333
One of the most important skills to
have as a UX designer is the ability to

4
00:00:15,333 --> 00:00:18,540
give and receive feedback on a project.

5
00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:21,400
Feedback is what makes
us better designers.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,370
Each person brings their
own unique viewpoint and

7
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:27,100
looks at your project
through their own lens.

8
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:31,550
When giving feedback on a project,
you wanna be clear and constructive.

9
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:37,840
Think about the color, organization,
shapes, and how the design makes you feel.

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,069
Today, we're going to
critique Books to Scrape.

11
00:00:41,069 --> 00:00:43,805
This is an educational site used for

12
00:00:43,805 --> 00:00:48,100
developers to practice
scraping content from the web.

13
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:54,810
When starting a critique, first try to
think of who the users are for the site.

14
00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:57,580
Keep them in mind as you are critiquing.

15
00:00:57,580 --> 00:01:01,040
One great place to start is the strengths.

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,050
What is working well in
the design you're critiquing?

17
00:01:04,050 --> 00:01:08,230
Which elements would the user
appreciate or enjoy?

18
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:10,180
Once you've listed out the strengths,

19
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:13,240
start thinking about
the design's weaknesses.

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,100
Where could be the design be stronger?

21
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,290
What would make a better experience for
the user?

22
00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:23,100
Think about the elements and
principles of design, design patterns and,

23
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,480
of course, the users.

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,980
Give the designer a few ideas or

25
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:31,680
suggestions to turn their
weaknesses into strengths.

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,740
You don't have to fix their whole
design or give an answer for

27
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:41,120
every weakness, but
it can help to give them a place to start.

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,430
Let's take a look at the website
called Books to Scrape.

29
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:48,920
You can find a link to it in
the notes associated with this video.

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,250
Click around and start taking notes on the
strengths and weaknesses you are noticing.

31
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:56,110
Put together your feedback, and

32
00:01:56,110 --> 00:01:58,760
in the next video,
I'll show you what I came up with.
