DESCRIPTION
TCUK 2012 presentation by Matt Pierce. This presentation is about how you can use design reviews to get better design. It lays out several ground rules, and then covers a few basics of design (CRAP). It is worth noting that with this presentation we did several exercises that involved participants practicing giving feedback.
