Thanks for the reminder. It's true the negatives become constructive after awhile and that is a good thing. I find also that some of the negative's just need to live with change for a bit before they accept new things - hence the initial reactionary response.

Human nature being what it is, I think the spike is quite common. Even with products recognized over time as superior by audiences. Peoples is peoples, and sometimes peoples are pretty darn reactionary. Actually, when I <em>don't</em> see the initial negative spike on The Big Launch I worry way more. Silence from the most vocal contingent of your audience is dreadful ominous. David: To be clear, I’m talking about a major redesign of a large-scale product.

If every single job you do gets this type of waved feedback, I'd say sit down and actually rethink your solution. Unless i have simply had a good life that negative wave should be about half that size coming out the gate. i do agree that the positive comments generally come in slowly, but thats natural because you are introducing something new. usually,like you mentioned, the negative critiques do get less emotional and become constructive and needed, so do pay attention to them as they will most often lead you in the right direction, once the now "teh sux" (lol) people leave.

My guess is that many experienced designers intuit this already. But I still run into folks who don't steel themselves for it and get a little thrown post-launch by the initial reactionary fits.
