Web Designs Critique

Written by Nash Ville

Criticisms, whether constructive or destructive, motivate someone to work hard on anything that he does. Before, I really get mad every time someone criticizes my assignments (especially in school) or even, my fashion statement. But now, I am more matured. I take good or bad criticisms as a challenge for me to do best in whatever endeavor I’m engaged at. I am aware that other people’s comments are necessary for us to be aware of our mistakes which we usually overlook or just tend to ignore sometimes because we find our works compelling and attractive.

I agree with what repparttar article’s author has said, you learn to create good designs through repparttar 107476 works of others only when you make an effort to actually evaluate repparttar 107477 work and state why you think it works or doesn't work. We're all born with repparttar 107478 same set of tools. Those tools you develop and 'grow' are repparttar 107479 ones that you use for life – repparttar 107480 effective ones.

Regarding repparttar 107481 belief of one designer that "You learn a good design by looking at a bad design", this is true because we get repparttar 107482 chance to assess that certain design and create a better design which is totally different from that design. But remember, we all have different tastes and styles. Something that appeals terrible to our eyes might be excellent to other’s perspective.
