由反馈引发的迭代是创造性设计的基础。设计师经常使用在线社区来收集反馈，但很少有人知道设计师如何使用这些社区来展示他们的工作。我们在三个活跃的论坛中研究了迭代设计实践，这些论坛针对流行的在线社区中的新手设计评论。我们收集了大量项目（n= 3，730）和评论（n= 29，412）。对数据进行分析，以确定设计师在他们的项目上重复的频率，以及反馈的哪些特征与迭代相关。进行了两项调查（n=38），以进一步了解设计师在设计阶段向社区发布作品的频率和时间。我们的研究结果表明，更多和更长的评论，评论较少的积极语气和评论更多的发人深省的语句与迭代相关。我们的分析还显示，只有21%的项目共享了两个或更多的迭代。调查结果解释说，迭代率部分是由于设计师在设计过程接近尾声时与社区分享他们的项目。我们的研究结果还表明，在线社区可以更好地支持迭代设计实践。
Iteration prompted by feedback is fundamental to creative design. Designers often use online communities to gather feedback, but there is little knowledge of how designers use these communities to iterate on their work. We studied iterative design practice in three active forums that target novice design critique in a popular online community. We collected a large corpus of projects (n=3,730) and comments (n=29,412). The data was analyzed to determine how often designers iterate on their projects, and which characteristics of the feedback correlate with iteration. Two surveys (n=38) were conducted to further learn how often and at which design stages designers post their work to the community. Our results showed that more and longer comments, comments with less positive tone and comments with more thought-provoking statements correlated with iteration. Our analysis also showed that two or more iterations were shared for only 21% of the projects. The survey results explained that the rate of iteration was due in part to designers sharing their projects with the community near the end of their design process. Our findings also suggest how online communities can better support iterative design practice.
