I Like It...But Could It Have More...Zip?

Jason Santa Maria is a good pal to us here in Chicago, and a terrifically solid thinker on all things design. Case in point, he’s just released the third chapter in his “Under the Loupe” series, which is, of course, about design. The topic this time around: critiquing. And geez is it something of value. Granted, this writer didn’t go to design school because he a) has no talent and b) was too busy wasting his brain power getting an English degree, learning about such drastically important things such as what reasons Percy Shelly had for writing Queen Mab, but a critique is a critique and now that this here writer is in the thick of design, it’s interesting to know how it should be done, either on the giving or receiving end.
