1. What is the purpose of a critique?
The purpose of a critique is to step away from the specifics of the design process and start by asking "what is it we're really trying to do here?" and How close are we doing it"



2. What steps would you take to begin critiquing a design?
Basic elements the article advise to follow are respect for the hard work and experience, a dispassionate approach, recognition that the critic lacks authority, ad justification for the discussion points.


3. How do you minimise the risk of offending a designer when critiquing their work?
To minimise the risk of offending a designer when critiquing their work it is best to understand and acknowledge the hard work that has been put into the design, go beyond basic cordiality and politeness.


4. As a designer, what are the benefits of being able to accept critiquing of your work?
The benefits of being able to accept critiquing is being able to think more broadly about your own work.
