Style by Design
A graphic-design critique service
27 April 2026
To whoever made the thing you're about to send,
You already suspect the piece isn't quite right. That's why you're reading this. So let's get to it.
Send us a piece of design — a poster, a landing page, a menu, a logo, a draft of anything — and you'll have a written critique back, in your inbox, in under twenty-four hours. Usually faster. We mark up the piece where the marks belong, call out the one thing most worth fixing, and tell you what to try.
It will be direct. That is what you are paying for.
The studio is the work of a graphic designer with a forty-year career in newspaper, billboard, and direct-mail advertising — the kind of taste that comes from making print do work for real businesses, on real deadlines, with real money on the line. The critique itself is drafted by a careful program (Anthropic's Claude), prompted to think the way the studio thinks about a piece. The labor is the model's. The taste behind it is the studio's. We don't pretend a person reads each one. That's the trade-off that returns a critique in hours instead of weeks.
Twenty-four dollars per critique. Twenty-nine a month if you want four of them. If a critique doesn't read your piece honestly, write us within seven days and we'll refund the whole amount, no argument. Your work is never used to train AI. Encoded in the operating agreement.
If you're ready, the button below opens the submission form. If you'd rather see what you'll be getting first, an example critique is enclosed.
Or subscribe for $29 a month and get four. Cancel anytime.
Yours,
The studio
Tampa, Florida
