Overview

Run structured, productive design critiques that generate useful feedback — not just opinions. This design critique template provides a shared canvas where designers can present their work and teams can give specific, actionable feedback organized by area, severity, and type.

Key Features

• Design upload zone for screenshots or images of the work being reviewed
• Feedback categories: What's Working, Questions, Suggestions, Concerns
• Severity tagging for feedback items (Minor / Major / Blocker)
• Facilitated round structure to ensure all voices contribute
• Synthesis zone for consolidating top insights and agreed next steps

How to Use

1. The designer uploads their work using the File Upload tool — place screens or mockups in the presentation zone
2. Give reviewers 5 minutes of silent review time — everyone adds feedback sticky notes to the canvas simultaneously using Quick Actions (one note per observation)
3. Color-code notes by category: green = working well, yellow = question, orange = suggestion, red = concern
4. The facilitator groups related feedback using the drag-to-cluster approach or AI Companion auto-cluster
5. Close by identifying the top 3 action items in the synthesis zone — assign each a designer and a timeline

Benefits

Good design critique is a skill. This template teaches the format by providing it — so even teams new to structured feedback learn how to give comments that help instead of just react.
