Everyone is subject to criticism every now and then. Being in a field where so much is subject to others' tastes and views, graphic designers need to have a thick skin.
I was recently featured in a community discussion on Outwit Trade, a site that features discussions and reviews on various topics. This particular article, by Katie Holmes, posed a specific question about criticism: Many of us struggle to take legitimate criticism. For those who have learned to take criticism well, what primary piece of advice can you share for others?
I can tell you that I have a wealth of experience giving and receiving criticisms about design work. I receive them daily from my clients, and I've given plenty as a former adjunct instructor of graphic design.
How do you deal with criticism? Have you dealt with any harsh critics that made you feel terrible? How did you overcome that feeling?
