Structured design critique evaluates UI mockups to identify blocking issues in visual hierarchy, legibility, consistency, accessibility, and brand fit. It analyzes contrast ratios, spacing tokens, and typography to produce actionable improvements and praise.

Checking contrast ratios and brand alignment during a design review involves evaluating the artifact against established criteria to ensure accessibility and brand fit. This process yields clearly separated blocking issues and non-blocking suggestions for refinement.

Yes, design critique can be applied to style guides and design systems to evaluate consistency, spacing tokens, and typography. It assesses these artifacts to drive concrete, actionable feedback for maintaining visual and structural coherence.

Design critique identifies blocking issues by evaluating fundamental failures in hierarchy, legibility, accessibility, and brand fit. It then separates these critical flaws from non-blocking suggestions, delivering structured feedback with actionable improvements and praise.

No specific file formats are required to perform an accessibility and hierarchy evaluation. You can provide design artifacts such as UI mockups, screenshots, or style guides directly for critique to assess contrast, typography, and consistency.

Automated design critique focuses on structured criteria like contrast ratios and spacing tokens, meaning it may not fully capture subjective aesthetic nuances or complex interactive behaviors outside of static mockups and style guides.
