The Bad-Designs Showcase
This is where you'll find the biggest collection of Bad Design examples from daily life!!!
The Bad Designs were collected over the years from the user submitted entries for the World Usability Day Contests under the name "Boycott Bad Designs".
Most of us used to take delight in watching birds paying us a visit in our very own habitats during our childhood, when today's cities were still attractive enough for nature to cast its beautiful spell with changing seasons, colors, flowers and more. However, all such pleasures of nature are strangers to our cities now. It's something that we have done ourselves, still doing, depriving our younger generations of all such pleasure.
The greater irony is, we seek solace in the virtual worlds. Our bird song comes from MP3s, our greenery in screensavers. And tweet on the web mimicking nature. As we use these products, as we live a synthetic life, we need to think, rethink how our life is affecting our world, our Nature. As creative people, it's time we thought about how our creations, the products and services we create and we use impact our world.
Time we thought about how our design can be sustainable, something that matches the needs to the resources in the most effective way possible.

It's about making our world work better.
It's about "Making Life Easy" and user friendly.
Technology today is too hard to use. A cell phone should be as easy to access as a doorknob.
In order to humanize a world that uses technology as an infrastructure for education, healthcare, transportation,government, communication, entertainment, work and other areas, we must develop these technologies in a way that serves people first…
