As a design student, I absolutely love having my art and designs critiqued by my classmates. I go to school online and we normally upload our work to a public (to the class) discussion board. In this area, students have the opportunity to critique the work of others and to have their own work critiqued. More often than not, the "critiques" from my classmates only consist of statements regarding how much they like it or how cool it is. If I am going to have my work critiqued, I would prefer to have a few paragraphs discussing what they thought was put together the best and what areas they think are the worst. Honestly, I would prefer to only have them state the worst areas. If they aren't going to state what is wrong with them, I don't think that they should critique my work at all. Why? Because knowing our greatest faults is the only way for us to improve upon them.

Well that's really below the belt. As recipients of critiques, we must be able to discern as well when a comment is still within the boundaries of the topic or if it's meant to bash us already. Some people just have the habit of rubbing off other's shortcomings just to make themselves feel momentarily superior. Spot them and stay away from them. They won't help build your skill and self-esteem.

I like to receive critiques. That doesn't mean we should accept all. Some may have some points and some may not . But is much better than always hear "it is Nice" - Even if some one thinks it is a "nice" job I love to hear why you think that way. Expressing the reasons helps to improve it.
