Criticism is the key to improving. I'm still learning, but I'm miles ahead of where I was a year ago. Partially this is do the Coov making me rethink the way I design covers, and in large part due to criticism which, when constructive, is a great motivator.

Take Casualimp's new set, for instance. No one seemed too jazzed about them when he came up with the idea, but after encorporating many suggestions made by the members here, he made some great looking covers which were neat, clean and very classy.
