Bad design is everywhere, while good design is invisible. If you look around yourself carefully, you’ll find that good design isn’t easily noticeable because of how easy and comfortable it makes you feel.
It’s effortless.
While on the other hand, bad design sticks out and ruins the show. Today we’re going to look at a list of such design fails that put crowns worth the importance of a designer in your life.
Let’s take a look at some hilarious design fails and crappy design mistakes.
Note: All of these aren’t necessarily part of the UI UX design fails but nonetheless they are design fails that help us laugh and understand the value of paying attention to detail while designing.
1. “Ladies and Gentlemen, please settle down, we’ll be starting shortly”
2. Where’s my dropdown at?
Clearly, a check box isn’t the right way to implement this control element in food/item selection. Instead, a dropdown or a plus/minus button would have been more appropriate in this context.
3. Speaking of Dropdowns… I think mine’s a carpet
Long dropdowns like this are a turn-off, a buzzkill, and a party pooper. Users will scroll, then some more, and some more. And then they’ll finally scroll away from your website or app.
Isn’t it a better idea to have a text box with autocomplete? Or for simpler times’ sake add a filter to organize the countries into continents first?
4. Same as my thoughts about Yoga
Only if the one working on the design of this yoga mat cared enough, would they know that the font color and background are blending into each other, making this a rather pessimistic product.
5. You see the same, right?
6. Mission Failed
Good job! Now I can get back to keeping my eyes on the road.
7. Better than Lorem Ipsum?
This is why it’s important to always proofread your design work before sending the final zip.
8. Memories, it said memories
Contrast is your best friend. Don’t ignore your best friend.
9. But it looks delicious!
In case you didn’t get it, the packaging of this floor cleaner makes it look like orange juice.
10. Cult Sign?
11. The door must be automatic
12. Hope I don’t see this at night…
13. Man I’m so thirsty, could really use some… glue
14. One last ride
15. Would rather write on a paper and mail it to you instead
16. I’m scared…
17. I want what H&M is smoking…
18. Which one is it?
