Workshop Review: Creative Feedback
Giving and receiving creative feedback, especially about creative work, is a nuanced, challenging process.
When you’re in a position as a creative leader, where your word and judgment are final, the balancing act can be even more fraught.
Providing creative feedback requires the highest engagement of our social & emotional skills in order to be constructive, fair, supportive, helpful, and critical all with the same few choice words. It must always advance the process and help improve project outcomes.
Often, the time available to give such feedback is limited, and the working ‘sprint’ that led to a creative review may have been intensive, even exhausting.
Receiving and seeking out creative feedback about our own skills, limitations, and opportunities to improve is also difficult, but nevertheless essential for growth.
On Thursday, October 14th, we held a Workshop focused on this very set of challenges, helping members develop their understanding of the skills and techniques for giving and receiving Creative Feedback.
Leading the session, we welcomed acclaimed designer Jessi Brattengeier, Art Director at The New York Times.
