Please Critique Me
Please Critique Me looks like a great place to get your work reviewed by some top notch designers.
If you spend more than a few minutes in forums or on social networking sites, you’ve probably heard someone say those three little words. Everyone – noob designer to experienced professional – is seeking feedback on design projects. We even see those requests regularly on Twitter, and many of us do our best to give feedback (as best we can in less than 140 characters) in an effort to give something back to the design community. With that in mind, we are proud to provide a place where designers can submit their work and have it reviewed (albeit publicly) by one of their industry peers.
