How do you handle feedback and critiques on your design work?

well you got to be open to critique but also not listen to haters

I take feedback as an opportunity from real customers or users. It allows us to improve our UX.

Don't take it personally, and try to always put the users' goals first. Make sure the client/whoever you're getting feedback from is suggesting it from a place of improvement towards the end user and their goals, and not their own subjective tastes.

Handling feedback and critiques on your design work is crucial for growth and improvement.

Seek Multiple Opinions: Gather feedback from diverse sources. Different perspectives can provide a more comprehensive view and identify aspects you might have missed.

Showcase Improvement: When presenting revised work, highlight how you've incorporated the feedback. This demonstrates your ability to listen, adapt, and improve.

Love dissecting feedback to its specifics.

Hi elif :) well at all it is a feedback. And a user feedback is very important. The thing is you just need to evaluate if the feedback is objectiv or personal. I´ve had some critiques from professional designers but thats fine - i want to learn from the best and try to improve cause every design is a unique one and some will like it and some will not

I view feedback as invaluable insights for refining my design work. Each critique is an opportunity to enhance usability and aesthetics. As a solo developer, I appreciate the diverse perspectives that shape my design decisions. It's a continual learning process that ultimately leads to a more user-friendly experience. BTW I'm launching Okfeedback, a feedback management platform with customizable widgets and survey forms next Tuesday on 9th Jan. Your support means a lot as a solo developer.

Regardless of the kind of work, feedback is a great way to get a new perspective on our work. We should of course take it with a grain of salt but it's an opportunity to improve and grow.

I approach feedback and critiques as opportunities for growth. Each suggestion is a chance to refine and enhance my design work. I stay open minded, focus on the constructive aspects, and use it as a guide for improvement.

Handling feedback and critiques on my design work is an essential part of my process. I always welcome constructive feedback as it helps me improve and refine my designs. I see it as an opportunity to learn and grow in my craft. I take the time to carefully consider the feedback, analyze it, and then use it to make necessary adjustments to my work. It's important to me that I maintain an open and receptive attitude towards feedback, as it ultimately leads to better outcomes. I value the input of others and see it as a valuable resource in creating impactful and effective designs.

Good design has a reserved attitude, and learning from failure, for design, there will be a more mature concept when there is failure

First thing is accepting if it makes sense of the feedback you are getting. If it is genuine, start working on it to avoid flood of such feedbacks. There's always going to be some critiques but if it is like 1-2% of your users, then it's fine else you better work on it.

Hi Elif, for me constructive feedback is a stepping stone for improvement even if it does not feel so good at that point of time.
