![It’s laid out too much like [popular service]. We should be
different.
The new Spotify design is perhaps even worse than the old
Spotify design. The visual hierarchy and underlying IA are terrible.
No. That won’t work. What if
we do it this way...
It needs more flululululuh!!
The wireframes are still not answering our
problem and are not providing enough an easier
solution for the page.
Change the order of the screens so that the
3rd and first one are switched.
It doesn't have enough spunk.
What kind of company shuts down a much-loved
service like Google Reader but keeps the
vegetative Google Plus?
We're disappointed in this solution. We're going to have our own
designers come up with one.
Looks ugly. Make it pretty.
What. The hell. Is this?
I would never use this. I don’t like
the layout.
We should make that a dropdown
instead of radio buttons.
None of this is what I asked for.
This is terrible. I have no idea
what the lines mean.
I like the paper form better.
I'm just not feeling it. I don't know what, but
it isn't right yet. Just needs to be more
innovative.
Make it look more
like SharePoint.Here is a rewrite. My intention
is to sharpen the language,
make it more precise.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/collaborativedesign-130925073136-phpapp02/85/Collaborative-Design-Lessons-Observations-41-320.jpg)

- 55. Collaboration is a mindset... ...not a byproduct of colocation.
- 57. If you have a good grasp of the patterns in the creative process as carried out by the artists and makers we all so admire, you can see the weak points in collaboration as it is carried out in many organizations... ...and fix them.
