These are all great points and I appreciate you taking the time to share
them with (us) me.
Yes, I called it a "critique" because, well, when you learn certain terms in
school, you tend to bring them with you to your day job. ;-) If I could to a
mediocre job summarizing my own experience, I'd say

I too do not use the word critique as that's more intended for

Lisa,
From my position as design teacher, it is unusual to speak about
"critique" involving only an audience and a designer -- but not a

I suppose I would rather call this a review or an inspection, saving
the term critique for pedagogical settings where a learning designer

Awesome topic!
This is so relevant to the work I'm doing now, and I'm happy to see

to get feedback on their work, to illicit suggestions and to uncover areas
