SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Critique is a structured evaluation of whether the design achieves what it set out to do, for the people it set out to serve — and whether it does so with the craft quality the project demands. This skill ensures review is rigorous, specific, and constructive. When a taste profile exists, critique includes aesthetic evaluation against that profile — not arbitrary personal preference, but the specific emotional target, craft standards, and quality bar the team agreed on.

FAQPage Schema

How do I perform a structured design critique against a design brief?▼

A structured design critique evaluates your work against a defined plan to verify alignment with intent and quality standards. It applies stepwise evaluation across inputs like design briefs, principles, and personas, culminating in a formal critique report.

What is the best way to evaluate design accessibility and usability?▼

The best way to evaluate design accessibility is through a structured critique that checks design artefacts against system constraints and accessibility considerations. This ensures review is rigorous, specific, and constructive rather than based on arbitrary preference.

Can I use a design system to verify alignment with project principles and personas?▼

Yes, you can verify alignment by applying a structured critique across your design system constraints, personas, and principles. This confirms whether the design achieves its goals for the intended audience while meeting project quality standards.

How do I review design artefacts against a specific taste profile?▼

To review artefacts against a taste profile, conduct a critique that includes aesthetic evaluation based on the agreed emotional target and craft standards. This ensures the review is specific and constructive rather than relying on arbitrary personal preference.

Does a formal critique report include usability and system constraint checks?▼

Yes, a formal critique report includes usability and system constraint checks. The structured evaluation process integrates accessibility considerations, craft quality assessments, and input gathering to deliver comprehensive design feedback.
