The final crit for my festival kitchen crit was today, and I have to say it was one of the best crits I've had at DAAP thus far. Our professor Tony brought in half a dozen local designers to critique our designs, and they had a lot of really valuable insights. Granted, it can be a little frustrating to get criticism from people who haven't been there for all the revisions and past crits, but it is a better measurement of how well you resolved the design. The main criticism I got for my design was that I didn't push things far enough, which I understand. I wasn't really trying to push the envelope with this project; I wanted something that would do a good job of filling the need I had seen simply and easily. Keep it simple, right? On the other hand, I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from the people I actually designed the kitchen for, so I'm pretty happy with my design.
