SUMMARY:Discussing Design: The Art of Critique
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Adam Connor (Mad*Pow), Aaron Irizarry (PixelFis

 tion and deliver feedback that falls short of being useful to improving 
 a design. In this talk we'll look at the critique, it's value, and how t
 o incorporate it into a design practice.

 nd how can we measure our success or failure? We’ll look at several live
  sites and watch for evidence of the designers who created them.
