5 Free Featured Spots on Concept Feedback: A Design Feedback Community

I was really excited to learn about this community, and it is a site I am going to make a point to be active on because I think that it is something that designers giving open critique can be valuable to the industry! Better design out there, happier clients, an all around better world to live in. :)

So what is Concept Feedback?

Concept Feedback is a free professional design review community. You post your website design, logo design, brochure layout, etc. and the community of designers comments with feedback on layout, color, usability, etc.

The service doesn’t require any money to get started. Creating a profile and posting feedback is free. If you would like to post work for the community to critique you have to earn it by giving feedback to other users. Depending on how valuable others find your feedback you get “reputation points,” which help those in the community gauge the value of your comments.

When I first looked over the site, I was expecting to just see comments like “nice job!” or “i don’t like that blue,” but there were some thought out, well reasoned and highly valuable criticisms being made! Don’t take my word for it, go check it out!

The Giveaway

Concept Feedback is now offering a “Premium Concept” feature for users who want to get maximum exposure for their concept.  Once a premium concept is live, it is featured on our homepage for 1 week, giving users maximum traffic and reviews.  We also personally invite our top members (highest reputation scores) to review the concept, ensuring top quality feedback.  You can find more details on premium concepts here.

The folks over at Concept Feedback is offering CMD+Shift Design Blog readers 5 free premium concepts! That’s 5 chances to get a spot ont he Concept Feedback homepage for a week for maximum interaction with their awesome community of designers!
