"Let's Talk About Design:" Chris Salomone's Furniture Design Crits

Design crits, at least the way they were delivered when I was in design school, were tricky things to execute. When looking at any project, the professor needed to evaluate whether the student had followed the assignment, deduce the student’s intent, contextualize the design, identify strengths and weaknesses, and offer helpful advice or criticism on how to improve.
