Forum Addition: Showcase Section?

[section8ight]

I generally spend the most of my browsing time on Design Showcase forums... www.theroot42.org www.howdesign.com/forum/ etc...

This place is packed with helpful people, and thought a showcase for users to get feedback on their projects would be a perfect addition.

I'd definitely like to see it added, how about everyone else?

Howdy... ;)

That sounds like a good idea, but I am having some problem visualizing the difference...
Since you brought it up, can you tell me the difference between that Showcase forum and our existing 'Site Check' forum???

Thank you... ;)

I guess I just saw that as being for functionality only.. Do people post there for a critique on aesthetics as well?

[CyanBlue]

Well... Me personally don't go to that forum for various reason... Why don't you go check it out yourself??? Some of bright and design oriented people 'sorta' live there, if I remember correctly... ;)

I'll move this thread to the General Chat forum... :)

Yes, in site check your website will be criticised. For functionality, ease of use and aesthetics.

not to hijack the thread but I would like to see an intiative where users critique each others code. Because there is almost always another way to do something, and I don't know about other people, but when my work is criticised I feel that I learn a better lesson because it is a real world example.

Just my half cent.

I like that idea web. It sounds like something for the justForKicks section. You might start a challenge with a very specific goal and maybe even post an swf somewhere of what the final product sould look like. Then when everyone has re-created the dummy, you could see how each person tackled the challenge. It would be a good way to have people critique your code because they could say "well where you did this, I approached it this way......" or "these two methods are very similiar, but person x's approach is much more effieicent because.......". Just a thought. I'll lead by example, well sort of. If you throw one out there, I'll agree to support it and join in. Maybe we can get a nice long thread about how to do something a number of ways and figure out what the best way, if there is one, is to do something.
