These 30 Pics Show How A Good Idea Can Go Horribly Wrong

Published 1 year ago

It’s easy to come up with an idea, but the real challenge is in executing said idea. There are so many elements that go into making a design come to life, that sometimes something can get lost in translation. 

The following pics are taken from submissions made to a subreddit that focuses on Good Taste But Awful Execution aka GTBAE. As the name itself indicates, the designs are hilariously bad and found in the wild by online community members and we’ve shared a few of the craziest ones seen in the wild below. Don’t forget to check our previous posts for more whacko designs.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
