What makes for an effective design review? And how should designers be preparing for them? In this episode, we sit down with Tom Greever (Author of Articulating Design Decisions) to take a deep dive on the components of design meetings, and how designers should communicate their decisions. "I've heard it likened to a Rubiks Cube, where our job as designers is to solve for all sides of the cube, but the problem that we face is that we have that developer who comes in and is like 'Oh, I want this side to be red'. We bear the responsibility of making all these parties come together and realize that, by twisting one side, it messes up the other side. And we have to work together to solve the whole cube." — Tom at 34:03 Tom’s website: www.TomGreever.com Read Articulating Design Decisions: http://amzn.com/1491921560 Tom on Twitter: Twitter.com/tomgreever Email us: [email protected] Austin on Twitter: Twitter.com/ustinKnight Geoff on Twitter: Twitter.com/dailydaigle Matt on Twitter: Twitter.com/mattrheault
