This lesson focuses on gathering and utilizing feedback for your prototypes. Feedback is crucial to refining your work based on real-world reactions before finalizing your project.

• Prepare Your Presentation: Ready your prototypes and prepare to explain your work's background, process, and goals.
• Select Feedback Participants: Choose a diverse group of individuals who can offer constructive criticism. Consider including both creative peers and representatives of your target audience.
• Conduct Feedback Sessions: Organize and run sessions where you present your prototypes and gather feedback. These can be in-person or online.
• Focus on Constructive Criticism: Encourage participants to provide specific, actionable advice rather than just general praise.
• Record Feedback: Take detailed notes or record the sessions to capture insights and suggestions accurately.

After collecting feedback, thank your participants for their contributions. This input is vital for making informed decisions about how to advance your project.

Watch the accompanying video journals to see examples of how feedback is obtained and used in practice, and prepare for the next lesson, which will focus on incorporating this feedback into your project.
