Seeking online design critique group
kathyp (24 pencils) | Wed, 2006-01-18 23:51Hi, all. I'm new here, and not sure if I'm looking in the right place for what I want.
I'd like to form a small on-line group (maybe no more than 6) of graphic designers who focus on designing for print (as opposed to the web.)
The purpose of the group would be to give each other regular critiques of projects during the design process. Members could e-mail JPEGs of their work to all the other members. Members would be free to respond, or not, if they had the time to.
I'd pefer to limit the group to serious professionals with at least 3 years' experience, rather than students or "dabblers".
I'm located in Oklahoma, and the design community is pretty small and insular here. We are all very competitive, and this situation makes it hard to get feedback or critique each other.
I belong to a group of illustrators that is organized as described above, and it's great. It's lasted for almost 3 years.
Any interest?
Feel free to e-mail me at eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%6b%61%74%68%79%70%40%61%62%6c%75%65%6d%6f%6f%6e%61%72%74%73%2e%63%6f%6d%22%3e%6b%61%74%68%79%70%40%61%62%6c%75%65%6d%6f%6f%6e%61%72%74%73%2e%63%6f%6d%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b')).
Thanks!

Posting in the Critique section here at Creativebits will get you some very good insight from people who are experienced in this industry. We are a fairly small group (considering) and everyone is very honest. I think you'd be happy just giving this a shot
Welcome To Creative BIts!
This is the place for you, there are some stunning professionals here. There are beginners, and there are people in between. Your best bet is to post a critique piece and see how you get on. We are very honest when it comes to critiques, and some might think - too honest.
If you would prefere a smaller group, find some people on creative bits that you like the work from and add them to your buddy lists on msn / ichat / yahoo etc... and setup a crit group that way.
You will not be disapointed here.

I personally work in product design and development, including a huge amount of print work for fortune 500 companies, and regularly review work on the site. My regular gig includes a retaining fee from 2 fortune 500 companies just to give my 2¢ on thier art departments work.
Congrats on your successes wurx, and you are just one of a many "top quality professionals" that make CB great. Kathy, you're going to love it here, you have to get involved to feel the benefits.
Look forward to chatting with you more.
