AI Notes for Designers
How to Summarize Creative Reviews
Creative reviews are critical meetings where designers present their work and receive feedback. Capturing detailed and organized notes during these sessions ensures that all feedback is accounted for and can be actioned appropriately. Good documentation helps streamline the revision process and fosters collaboration within the team by providing a clear record of ideas discussed and decisions made.
But what should you include in your meeting notes? We have compiled a list of key points to include in your meeting notes.
