Critique App

I created animated mockups of a web application aimed for students' design critique during my time as a university research assistant.

The aim of these mockups is to communicate directional user flows and interactions in order to pitch to future courses in the design department.

Critique App Animated Mockups

I joined the development of the critique application project after my teammates had developed the initial design system and layout prototypes in Figma. From there, I brought the created assets into After Effects using the AEUX plugin and animated them individually. The sequencing followed the flow that users would take to complete their evaluation of classmates' creations.

Critiques consist of several defined overrarching categories, with multifacted feedback options including numerical score, strengths/weaknesses, and text areas for descriptive comments. Said categories, as well as strengths/weaknesses, are established at the beginning of each course's feedback session.

The goal is for each student to give and receive greater, more nuanced feedback and tangible takeaways in order to grow as a designer and critic.

At the end, each individual critique in the group is consolidated into a cumulative evaluation, with the average score and assigned strengths/weaknesses tallied under their respective categories. The discussion panel consolidates any provided comments, as well as further discourse that may occur after individual evaluations are submitted.
