It’s pretty clear that design isn’t everyone’s strong suit. But some people make such bad designs that it’s hard to believe believe they even exist. But you have to take my word for it here, they do.
Since seeing is believing, I won’t leave you without some proof . These designs are pretty bad. And yes, they’re real. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
RELATED STORIES
This font that just makes no sense.
It may take you a few minutes (or hours) to read this, but I think it’s supposed to say “Kowena Chiropractic.” Why anyone would choose such an illegible font for their business is beyond me, though. This is such a horrible design.
I’d say they tried their best, but did they?
From the weird way the S and the H are grouped together, to the M that’s much bigger than the other letters, this sign is a mess. A total, unapologetic mess. And as hideous as it is, I kind of like it in a really weird way.
The sign tried, but just didn’t work out.
I know the sign is supposed to read “let’s explore,” but the fact that they replaced the O with a shape that looks nothing like an O really bugs me. It messes with the flow of the sign, you know? Such a mess.
Types of data structure.
This Venn diagram is really all over the place. In fact, this entire presentation slide is all over the place. Nothing makes sense. It’s like someone had no idea what they were doing and just slapped a bunch of things together. Which is how you end up with bad designs.
A double window? That’s a new one.
I’ve seen plenty of weird home design choices in my day. But I’ve never once seen a double window. Like, a window stacked on top of a second, smaller window, like this.
It’s so ugly, but in the most entertaining way. I literally can’t stop laughing.
What’s going on with this crosswalk?
My guess is that this crosswalk had the tactile paving installed, and then for some reason someone decided to pave over it and not bother replacing the tile. It, like, really hurts my eyes to see something this poorly done, especially since it made this crosswalk so inaccessible.
The concept is so confusing.
I get that it’s supposed to be a play on hair and therapy. That much makes sense. But the martini glass is really throwing me off. I’m not sure what alcohol has to do with haircutting (in fact, the two should never be involved with one another).
When life gives you limes, just do whatever you want I guess.
The funniest thing about this soap label is the fact that limeade exists. There’s a whole drink that’s like lemonade, but with limes. And yet they still printed lemonade. Talk about a swing and a miss.
But you know what they say, when life gives you lemons…
When the frame is bigger than the window itself.
I feel like this bathroom could’ve gone without a window. This window seems like it wasn’t worth the effort of installing it, especially since it does nothing. Can you even open it? Would you want to?
Probably would’ve been better to install a fan.
I feel like I’m getting mixed messages here.
I think we all know this shirt is trying to say, “don’t worry, be happy.” But you can’t put it on a shirt this way. It totally looks like this shirt is telling us to worry and not be happy, and that’s kind of stressing me out.
When the paper towel dispenser is installed directly above a garbage can.
There are probably a million different ways to mess up on a bathroom design. This one is just, well, it’s something else. Unless you like getting your hands full of other people’s wet paper towels, you probably won’t want to use something like this, like, ever.
The way this set of stairs is connected to a different set of stairs.
It looks like someone started renovating a staircase and then gave up three-quarters of the way through. Which leaves a set of stairs that’s at least functional. Even if they are super ugly. I hope it doesn’t stay like this forever.
This cursed ornament.
Not only is this strange, emoji Christmas ornament hideous, it’s real. Like, somewhere out there, someone is selling it. For money. People work hard for their dollars, only to turn around and spend them on this.
I think it’s time to try and visit an alternate universe.
That’s not how the sun works.
I’m know scientist, but I at least know the reason that we have light is because the sun shines down on us. So, it wouldn’t create a shadow on the part that faces us. That just doesn’t make any sense.
Way to drop the ball, graphic of the sun.
You think anyone’s ever tried to wear these?
As shoes, they’re ugly. As bubble tea cups, they’re… also ugly. I don’t see these really having a function outside of maybe being some kind of tacky party favor. And even then, I wouldn’t be going to that party on principle.
No onion, just an onion.
This is so confusing. This bottle of blue cheese dressing has a picture of an onion on it. But the dressing apparently has no red onion whatsoever. So… why would they put an onion on the bottle?
Seriously, did no one on the marketing team think this was weird?
The way this shower head is so low.
Whoever installed this shower head clearly doesn’t know how people work. Sure, there are some people out there who are really short. But the average person is a lot taller than this shower head.
I can’t even imagine how anyone would be able to shower in that.
Because that’s the perfect spot to put the warning.
I feel bad for anyone who read this label after sticking the box in the microwave. Even if it’s something that doesn’t seem like it’s microwave safe, you know there are going to be people who took the unobscured part of the label seriously. And that’s just sad.
The pillar… it’s in the middle of the road.
No traffic island, no indication that there’s a pillar in the road, nothing. I really hope this doesn’t cause a lot of car accidents, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Seriously, who did this and what were they thinking? Because it’s such a hazard and an awful design.
This hideous bathroom.
Pro tip: if you’re going to design a bathroom, maybe don’t use a tile that looks like it has mold on it. Just a thought.
The last thing you want in a bathroom (and in a house in general) is mold. Even if it isn’t real, keep it far, far away.
