New posts in the Critique Forum

Hello all,

I was browsing through your Critique forum, and I noticed that there seems to be a lack of basic filler information and/or explanations attached with work. I know that a lot of work here is in the initial phase or partially done, but I think the inclusion of basic information will save a lot of time (and reading) for people that first visit a new topic.

As a new member, I find myself asking "what is this for?", "what is the message you're trying to convey?", or "what is the concept?" if the work isn't forthcoming.

An example of useful information to include in a starting post (of course, if this is commercial work, you can't divulge too much info).

Client:
Concept:
Message you want to Convey:

Oh and please if you're going to showcase mutliple versions of a logo, please use a naming convention (ie. numberals / alphabetical) so people can easily reference which logo they're referring to (as opposed to citing "fifth row, third column") which is hard to keep track of if you're critiquing multiple pieces.

That's my 2 cents.

You're right. Will incorporate such criteria. Thanks!

Oh forgot to mention, if it's a logo redesign, it'd be a benefit to include and image of the old logo for quick comparison!
