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.

Collaboration is a mindset......not a byproduct of colocation.
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.
