This morning we received a mail from mydesginaward.com saying :
Congratulation
Our design community and MyDesignAward giving you an Design Award! Thank You for you AWESOME Job! We love your site – it is AMAZING and will be added now in to the awarded design category.
Know what ? I love that ! When you are on a project like ours, you want feedback because it enables you to transform your initial intention into something that keep getting better and better.
Let be fully honest. I spent a lot of time on the Internet in particular in design fields. It is absolutely not my job, rather my hobbit, but I read k10k and designiskinky for almost 9 years, and I know our website is not that good. But, it is far better that its first release a few months ago. And every tweaks between that first release and this release come from feedbacks.
At the beginning, it is always hard to hear criticisms on your work. If you done some thing in a certain way it is because you obviously think it is a good one. Then, some of these criticisms begin to make sense in your head and you tweak and tweak again…until you get an award.
It is again, all about agility, you can’t do the perfect thing upfront : do your thing the best you can and wait for feedback. I guess it meets the Agile manifesto : Responding to a change over following a plan.
One last thing, positive feedback is as important as negative ones. Thanks to www.mydesignaward.com for the recognition.
And thanks to all of you that helped so much saying us what you thing about our work. We are just at the beginning, next major step, the product release : be sure we want to hear from you and that we will do our best to make the feedback process as fun as possible (may be a secret web site…).
