Graphic Design fails

November 10, 2008

I love failblog.org. If you could use a laugh, check it out. I’ve posted some of my favorite design related fails below. Bad design always reminds me that good design really is important. Some of the best design is the kind that you hardly even see, or at least notice. You wouldn’t give that Vermont Maple Syrup Sign a second glance if it was designed correctly.

  2. You should come to my forum some day!
    It has a big artistic section,
    and getting in the graphics squad gives you access to tons of free premium downloads!
    Each week there’s a big AOTW (art of the week) contest,
    this week 50,000 store credits to win!

  3. I think these examples should be in marketing books as reasons to proof your work and to have someone else look at it before it’s final! It’s amazing that as designers and writers that we can have so many ideas, yet get caught on one idea and not see any other (humorous) dimension of that one idea.

  4. These are more like “what were you thinking” designs.
