Ask HN: Where can one turn for design help/critiques?

3 pointsaustenallred5 comments

If you have a product design and you want some honest design critiques, is there a place to get those?

Dribbble and Behance have proved to be great networks. Forrst is being revived again so thats where. I've seen most people turn to their social networks to get feedback and critique though.

I built something for private feedback which we just posted to HN in fact. (Lucky to see this post!) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5862176

Dribbe and behance is for designers. The way I read this, it's a client looking for feedback from work done by designers. One thing: if you are looking for feedback make sure to also post the brief and the budget. Otherwise you'll receive feedback with no context.

We hired a designer, just not sure if the design is quite there yet, so I don't know if we can post his work to dribbble/behance

Dribbble isn't about showing off (well, not just). The people there can help you, and the least thing you want to do is find yourself working too much hours on a design.
