Article Created by: Austen Akavickaite
Ugly. Lame. Disastrous. This list of descriptions for epic design fails might not be exhaustive, but it’s enough to get you up to speed with the thought bubbles you can expect to pop into your mind as you’re scrolling through the images in this post, brought to you by us from this online group that’s dedicated to bad design. Good taste might seem like it’s common sense, but we’ve got all the proof in the world that this isn’t the case. Unfortunately, what looks awful to you and us and obviously doesn’t function well isn’t always apparent to the designers behind the disasters.

Bored Panda spoke about the principles of good design, the line between quality and bad design, as well as human beings’ intuition to automatically feel what’s designed well with Tim Antoniukan Associate Professor of Design Studies at the University of Alberta.
