In our series of town-hall style sessions, we’re excited to bring back CritiquePress this year – a hybrid town-hall / panel discussion. Meg Delagrange and Sonja Leix are excited to give the audience valuable real-time feedback for designs the audience has submitted in advance.
The design critique of each website is based on the following categories: User Flow, Storytelling, Layout, and Accessibility. After the critique, attendees can ask questions related to the reviews or the topic in general.
