How to Conduct a Design Review Like a Pro

Design reviews are crucial for making sure that your project is on the right track. Whether you’re designing a website, an app, or any other visual project, having the right tools and strategies can make a big difference. Here’s a guide on how to conduct a design review effectively and why tools like ScreenRec can be game-changers.

Simple Steps to a Great Design Review

Set Clear Goals: Start by knowing what you want to achieve with your review. Are you looking at usability, the look and feel, or maybe how it works technically? Clear goals keep everyone focused.

Get the Right People Involved: Make sure everyone who needs to be there is part of the review. This could be designers, developers, project managers, and even clients. Different perspectives help catch different issues.

Use Feedback Forms: Structured feedback forms with specific questions can guide reviewers to give detailed and useful feedback. This makes it easier to address specific aspects of the design.

Regular Check-ins: Don’t wait too long between reviews. Regular check-ins help keep the project on track and make sure any issues are caught early.

Use the Best Tools: Tools like ScreenRec, Figma, and InVision can make the review process smoother. These tools help you share designs, gather feedback, and make sure everyone is on the same page.

Top Tools for Design Reviews

ScreenRec: ScreenRec is perfect for capturing and sharing detailed screen recordings and screenshots. You can annotate your screenshots and create detailed walkthroughs of your design. Its instant sharing feature with secure cloud links makes it great for remote reviews. Plus, it’s super easy to use and keeps your data secure.

Figma: Figma is awesome for collaborative design. Multiple people can work on the same file at the same time, and you can leave comments right on the design. It’s great for real-time feedback and edits.

InVision: InVision lets you create interactive prototypes and gather feedback with comments and annotations. It also has version control, so you can see all the changes made and make sure feedback is implemented.

Zeplin: Zeplin helps bridge the gap between designers and developers by providing detailed specs and assets. It ensures that the final product looks exactly like the design.

Slack: Slack can be integrated with your design tools to streamline communication and feedback. You can set up channels specifically for design reviews, making it easy to share updates and discuss feedback.

realized i never posted this one. the gamma4 partycrabs.

in the gamma4 universe, a group of baltimore highschoolers attempted to kill the olde one. the final blow of the battle did not kill her, and for the following decades, she lay dying in the bay. she was due to die during the short circuits, and an awful and awkward high school reunion of sorts took place to witness her death and steer her subsequent rebirth.

[ID: a grid of 20 squares, with each corner square containing a drawing of a crab with an eye in its center, with a smaller crab with a party hat in the eye's iris. the remaining 16 squares each show an uncolored digitally drawn portrait of one of the gamma 4 baltimore crabs team. name, stats, and position are shown above each portrait.

The twin dragon story between Draken and Mitsuya feels so serene.

It feels like this deep secret that I'm let into.

And it's so warm and so beautiful.

Can you imagine if I never continued watching this, I would have never known about this. About this particular important piece that makes me feel so much.

It's like a deep deep secret. And it's so beautiful to be let into it...

When you look at Mitsuya, you'd never imagine he has that tattoo.

And now, we know. (^^)

....

I really really love Mitsuya as a character. He has a really beautiful character design, and I love the lilac palette a lot, so I'm drawn into it.

The personality of Mitsuya as a character is so beautiful. He's this kind brother and a kind person in general, he has an amazing fashion insight, he's not insecure or embarrassed about it. He has beautiful values. He is strong. He is brave. And he's so so kind.

I put him on this pedestal of a character, but when he shared that story where he ran away from the house because he was so tired of it. It makes me realise how we're all a part of being human. Even when he was fighting Taiju, and he was aware that he might lose, but even then he still fought.

Hina's words to Takemichi where she states that, you knew you would lose, even then you came to save me.

It's so. AAAH. it's so nice.

It rings true.

Mitsuya is a gem of a character.

....

I am loving the anime but it also feels very inbetween. Like the lofi music inbetween, the particular bits feel off.

It's a good anime, and I'm still into it. But just inbetween, things feel slightly off. A little bit like kids...like it follows the line between being a kids genre and back at this cool ass story....the line keeps faltering a lot.

Also I feel really bad for mikey. And what the hell is the deal with this Kisaki. And hanma looks so out of character😭😭😭. He's so weird fr.

....

I'm at episode 10 at the moment.

No spoilers pls (⁠^⁠^⁠)

I've been on a roll with drawing big cats lately so i got the urge to draw this sludge covered bastard because i thought its design was really sick with the stripes being the void juice itself and the gaping mouth surrounded by sharp teeth.

Hope you like it dude :]

//Holy Moley this looks so sick!

//And its kinda of a weird roundabout way since you designed the Sawa sprites, and since the Tiger Monster was Sawa's own inner demons, I used your sprites as a reference when drawing this bastard and now you used said drawing to draw this.

//And the way the Void Juice is dripping down its body like the Surgeon Monster's was that's just *chef's kiss* Thank you soooo much for drawing this!

//I was gonna say check out the original Dream Tiger drawings which was my inspriation for this, but I realised that art trend was on Twitter...and that website is banned in Brazil because the manchild in charge of the site threw a typical temper tantrum for being held accountable for his actions.

//Probably the one thing I do enjoy the most with the Void Juice plotline and when it does come back is coming up with the designs of the Void Juice Monsters because believe me I have lots of similarly beautiful and messed up designs waiting to be realised.

//And this bastard was so tough to take down as well since not only did it have the mist up which required a lot of beating from Akane and eventually Aliza but even when Aliza and Mahiru were hitting it with light it still managed to almost kill Aqua.

//The only plus side is this monstrosity exposed that Sawa has some deep seated issues that needs helping and therapy with and she's getting it!

okay don giovanni review from last night. under the cut bc it's me. tldr the vocal performances were great, leporello carried the show, one of the most insane productions i've seen thus far but somehow in a new bizarre direction from normal. good snacks.

first of all i don't care how much wine you offer i think it's kind of ridiculous to charge $165 for a base ticket price for a performance that 1. isn't even in a concert hall or theater 2. is a concert performance rather than a staged performance (which was not advertised ahead of time) and 3. was not even a full production because they made the absolutely mind boggling decision to cut 100% of the recitative and replace it with Some Guy sitting on the stage narrating the plot between every 1-3 numbers

i did not pay that much gd bless. the student ticket was way cheaper.

the narration wasn't even good it was weirdly ungenerous to the women (like how do you even make elvira out be a "women, amirite" thing and also vaguely imply anna was into it in a production with zero acting? well they figured something out) and i don't think it even explained well enough what happens between each number to truly give a first time watcher a good idea of what's actually going on. not to mention that it absolutely kills any sense of momentum in the plot and makes the entire show drag like hell, because you have to wait between every single aria for either Some Guy to talk at you for three minutes straight, or wait awkwardly while people onstage walk off and people offstage walk on. it was so painfully clunky

they had a piano up there but since there was no recit it's not like she was accompanying much of anything. in practice what it ended up being used for was 1. the mandolin part for deh vieni (acceptable in the absence of a mandolin player; they were working with a limited chamber ensemble of musicians so i get it) 2. the party music at the end of act i (egregious fault imo because it absolutely kills the vibe of the scene and completely obfuscates the way the music is supposed to be adding to the tension and chaos with its different instrumental groups playing in different meters)

and 3. used to give singers their notes when the vocal line of their arias start on beat 1 measure 1, which they otherwise would have been able to get from the preceding recits (which is imo painfully amateurish for an ostensibly professional production)

all the numbers in act i were there although the narration was so bad i got jumpscared by fin ch'han dal vino because i forgot it was supposed to be there and thought we had skipped over that point in the plot. act ii had some really bizarre additional cuts made, notably they just entirely skipped over meta di voi and vedrai carino. it was like masetto and zerlina fuck off for the entirety of act ii save for, like, mille torbidi (they VERY briefly mentioned masetto getting beat up in the narration and i don't think they mentioned vedrai carino at all, they just skipped straight from deh vieni to sola sola. and also there was a painful awkward pause before deh vieni because i think the pianist forgot she was supposed to play there and the narrator jumped ahead to the next chunk of plot explanation too early). kept both dalla and tesoro (i'm fine with this ottavio was quite good though could've used a bit of ornamentation imo), kept mi tradi, kept non mi dir (more on that in a bit). no per queste which is probably a good thing not only for the show itself but also my head would have absolutely and irreversibly exploded if they had, probably

the whole thing kind of felt underrehearsed. like a quarter of the time it seemed like people didn't know what they were doing or had to be reminded where to be at that point in the show. and there were a few moments throughout where the orchestra struggled to keep up with the singers, but i really don't think they had much time to rehearse together, honestly.

and then, to my utter shock, the finale was actually really good?? like. insane compared to the rest of the show thus far. though it helps that 1. i absolutely love the harmonieband arrangements of cosa rara/i litiganti/non piu andrai, after possibly the draggiest non mi dir i've yet experienced it was like a breath of fresh air to hear that (and non mi dir was actually well performed i liked this anna but considering how much the Entire Show was dragging, the fact that they cut meta di voi and vedrai carino, AND the fact that they promised this act would be short, it felt crazy to me to keep it at that point.)

2. leporello and the don were by far the best performers of the night. so much so that i sought them out during the post show reception to tell them how great they were and enjoyed their performance. which i usually do not do, but in this like, high school recital ass production value. unbelievable relief that the final scene is dominated by the two actors in the show who most remembered that they can, and in fact Should, be acting. so much more movement and physicality and expression from those two compared to most everyone else. leporello especially, his actor apparently specializes in comedic bass roles and it shows, he was the standout all night

and 3. for the first time in the entire production they made an interesting decision regarding the physical space and staging! they had the commendatore sing from up on a balcony overlooking the audience in the foyer. the bar admittedly was set very low in the previous act and a half but the finale reminded me that i actually like this show again which is appreciated

though they then threw another curveball at me by Cutting the sextet at the end. which like didn't even piss me off at that point i was just baffled. like the don sinks down in agony and leporello sinks down whimpering in fear and the orchestra cuts off. and i'm expecting an awkward pause while they quietly get up and shuffle off so the rest of the cast can come back but nope. big orange title slate appears on the big screen behind them and the audience breaks into a roaring applause and the announcement of the wine and dessert reception. felt like i was in a fever dream

i will say the desserts were very nearly almost worth the bullshit that was the preceding show. they were so good. thank you austria for your dedication to pastry. and because i don't drink and couldn't appreciate the free wine offered i had to indulge in my own manner. spread contained chocolate oat bites (tasted as much like espresso powder as chocolate and coated in coconut, 4/10), almond sponge cake (classic, 7/10), cardamom apple bread pudding with caramel cream (not enough cardamom but otherwise very tasty and autumnal, 8.5/10) and honey cake (11/10. i don't know how they made this so good. i want more right now so much). i take both my mozart opera and my desserts very seriously.

anyway overall the production was. i would say frustrating. the singing quality was Really Good (leporello was the clear standout, probably followed by the don though i prefer my dons with a lighter voice but technically he was very good, then probably ottavio, then maybe masetto or anna. the commendatore was great but he's in it so little it's hard to compare)

i just wish they could have, like, actually done a full production. it would have been so great if they had gotten to tell the actual story and had been fully allowed to act. when there Was acting were the best moments of the show, and it's really unsurprising that most of that came from leporello, the absolute legend.

My thoughts on Baba is You.

I think this title should stand next to Stephen's Sausage Roll by how they've both shaken the puzzle game genre in their own unique ways.

While TSP and TBG are known as meta commentary on the games, Baba Is You does so through the basic mechanic of the game. I haven't seen many puzzle game titles before it that would make the rules so breakable yet still so logical. You can't make contradicting statements or imaginery rules but you're given such an arsenal of choices to make and try out, I don't think it's a problem for anyone.

And unlike many other titles here, you're supposed to both learn and forget your experience. Every world is based on a new mechanic that gets introduced but the way you perceive it is supposed to constantly change.

Baba is You but You aren't Baba most of the time. Yet still, Baba is within you one way or another.
