Please read this: Critique posting guidelines




advert

For those who want to post work for critique:
• If you want constructive criticism of a concept, finished design or work-in-progress, post it here.
• Uploading images: Maximum file size is 500K; JPG and GIF formats are supported.
• Make sure you're posting in RGB format and not CMYK, as CMYK can not be viewed in some browsers.
• Don't forget to press the attach button after selecting the file.
• Provide background info (client, objective, audience, etc.) to help your peers evaluate it objectively.
• Expect honest, even blunt, commentary. Be professional in your response.

For those who critique on posted work:
• If you’re posting a critique of someone’s work, be respectful.
• Provide constructive feedback. “It sucks” is not appropriate—offer meaningful comments about the work.

nice copy but wheres the image? dont get this ad, it sucks and i think its been done before.

;) joke. Sorry Ivan, i couldnt resist

Always welcome dude.

Can i upload my private works to there?

thnx ivan

here's a suggestion ivan:

Put a word blocker so that words like 'Crap', 'Fuckwit', 'Rubbish'
(and any other words that you can think of) can't be typed in the comment area.

They do it for company emails so I guess it can be done, right?

That way, even if people want to be sarcastically critical, they have to be creative about it.

and i'm sure we'll appreciate that more.

ivan's picture

There is a spam filter that does something like that.

thats a crap, fuckwit and rubbish suggestion

you're a regular jerry siendfeld.

and by the way, it should have been:

only a fuckwit can come up with that crap and rubbish suggestion.

not that we're teaching english.

yes, i can be siendfeld too.

Just get people to ellaborate more. It's easy to say 'good idea, nice' but lets remember we're not here to blow sunshine up peoples arses, were here to help.

If they do a good press ad, tell them to make a campaign, if they have a good campaign tell them to think of how it could translate into ambient etc. Help people put legs on their ideas.

totally agree.
but it's better to say:

that idea is of rare intelligence. It's rare when it shows any. It can only be further improved by... (the improvement)

as opposed to:

that idea is crap, fuckwit and utterly rubbish.

know what i mean?

sometimes you don't really have time to be ellaborate, but still you want to tell the guy or gal that you liked what they did. Hence the "i like it, it's good" type of comments.

*cough* - that's a comment too!

ivan can i post any ad or it should be published first in the market...ya3ni if i have an idea in my head for Mcdoland's for example can i post it here or it should be my client first?...

ivan's picture

It doesn't need to be published to be posted here.

What if I make up a word that is meant to be the same a fuck, shit, balls and such and such?

Can I use those words?

I'm sensing I should fuck off and stick to the the guidelines.

ivan's picture

You can use balls in the context of I like playing with balls. ;)

sweet

ok, i will

Karim

ok i will

Oh! really ? please first read your comments on my work.
were they -appropriate, meaningful ?

ivan's picture

Sorry if they weren't. Let me fix my mistake. Which one?

Screw him, what's he pissed about? Can't take a little truth medicine it seems.

Anyone with eyes connected to a brain can tell you that your comments (Ivan that is, not Cry baby McWhinney pants) are always fair, and based on an opinion that you have. Which is what this is all about no?

I'd smack him with the pimp hand to make him keep his bitching to himself from now on.

Does this comply with said regulations?

Who the fuck cares, I'm spitting the truth and it's like Hot Fire!

(for those of you that are still confused I'm kidding.......mostly)

hai guys!!!

newbie here! Thanks Ivan.

can we post our private work that are not published
Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise

ivan's picture

Yes, of course. This is to learn from each other.

hello ivan thanks for leting me know that was not the right place to post my ads any way u said u know of some one who is interested in those birds he or she can mail me through my adress bongsha2001@yahoo.com thanks once me and good luck.

Ivan, have you thought of a way to seperate student work and professional stuff, or produced work and unproduced work?

Personally I like to see all ideas and don't care whethere it has been made or not, but many posters seem to get upset if the ads aren't produced work.

Just a thought.

ivan's picture

Yes, it's probably a good idea, but it will be hard for me to control and check whether a certain piece of work is indeed produced or not.

Fair enough, as I say, it's not a problem for me, but reading loads of comments saying 'fake', or 'scam' gets a little tiring.

I can see it would be difficult to seperate out.

ivan's picture

I agree it is tiring at times.

ok, will do.

everartz's picture

sure...

Yo, Ivan been visiting this site day in day out, quite a nice pad you've got going on here mate. Just recently posted a piece now and expecting feedback, throw yours in too. Peace...

Oh yeah, one last thing Ive, can we hold you liable if any of our posted work gets poached here man, cause this is any man's terrein? Oh well, then again, guess it wont be entirely your fault hey. So, whup, Gas engine ignited, LETS GO!

ivan's picture

Right... :)

Hey Ivan,

Just wanted to bring something to your notice. I get a feeling that this forum is turning out to be a BASHING FOR FUN thing rather than a constructive criticism or healthy discussion forum. The idea of posting work here is to get various points of view that can help one improve his/her work. However there are only a few people (you and some other)who put in a serious thought in every work posted here and the rest of the gang is there to have fun.

ivan's picture

Sometimes it's true. Feel free to point this out. It's a learning process. We can't police people, but we need to make them understand what the objectives are.

Thanks Ivan :)

YES OFCOURSE...

Ivan, people who are members will think twice about talking crap but im wondering why you made this anonymous option? this isnt making your job easier to police, is it?

ivan's picture

Yes, that's true, but some people don't want to register to post just one comment. Some people don't even know how! :)

Sure ivan
