Can you promote in r/design_critiques?

Help new and amateur designers improve their designs through reviews and critiques. If you are an experienced designer, please review a submission and share your constructive suggestions!

The short answer

Provide constructive, design-focused feedback (or ask clarifying questions) and optionally mention your tool/company only if it's directly relevant and secondary to the critique.

What works here

  • Posting or linking a design for critique
  • Giving constructive design feedback
  • Mentioning relevant tools or experience when directly helpful

What gets posts removed

  • Using critiques as overt sales pitches or lead-generation
  • Posting commercial calls-to-action or recruitment messages
  • Posting irrelevant promotional links instead of critique
