30 Of The Most Terrible Designs Created By Designers And Architects (New Pics)

Published 4 years ago

You don’t have to be a designer to spot a terrible design. It’s usually incredibly ugly, doesn’t function properly, or, in some cases, actually does the opposite of what it’s supposed to. And what do you do when you spot one of these terrible designs? You share them with strangers on the internet, of course!

People over at the /r/CrappyDesign/ subreddit are sharing examples of the worst designs they’ve spotted in the wild, and they range from pretty funny to outright dangerous. Check out some of the best ones in the gallery below, and if you want more, see our previous posts here and here!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
