When design goes wrong

Sometimes designs can go awfuly wrong, just like on the above image where the racing path gives a shape full of painful memories to the circuit. There are other ways for designs to be bad, following are a few examples.
Bad photoshopping

There are many examples of image retouching that was done either too quickly or very badly. Many blogs often talk about this, like Photoshop Disasters.
Phallic logos

The Brazilian Institute for Oriental Studies. Huh!

The Computer Doctors, they’ll take a good look at your… hum… your mouse. Don’t forget to check out more on David Airey’s blog.
Other phallic shapes

Well… I would just by regular gummy bears instead of those I guess.
Bad advertising placement

I bet that people at McDonalds marketing didn’t like that photo…

Hum… nothing to add on this one.
Things that shouldn’t need to be designed

This kind of infography makes me a bit sad about the human race, why on earth would you need to design such a picture? I truly hope that this is a joke.




Very cool
The SafeHaven graphic is great; it is sad that it is necessary but it is exactly what is needed to make the point and save babies’ lives.
I wonder if the cars in the first one are VW?
I love the hand being grown on that shoulder. It makes you wonder what other kinds of errors have been made in haste.
I love the hand being grown
I believe the don’t throw baby away infographic is real. I think it’s from Nebraska. Apparently, it became such a problem there that they dedicated a whole campaign to–”If you don’t want your kid, drop them off at the hospital. don’t dump them in the garbage.” You used to be able to ditch any of your kids as long as they were under the age of 18 at hospitals in Nebraska and not face criminal charges…
This story kinda ties in with that.

Love the “racing” game! The winner gets to eliminate his or her race of choice.
