How do you tell good design from bad design?
How do you tell good design from bad design?
I’d argue that it’s obvious to tell the difference between good and bad design. But if that was the case for everyone, then we’d enjoy a world full of excellent websites.
I believe there are obvious visual and emotional indicators of good and bad design. Let’s start by comparing and contrasting the visual indicators first.

The 30 worst-named tech products
What's in a name? Well, more than you think when it comes to tech products. Here are some of the worst-named products we've come across. A few did OK in the marketplace; most, however, did not.

Apple 30-pin to USB Cable
 |

 |
What is wrong? the
Signifier: - There isn't effective sign for the right side to plug in an Apple 30-pin to USB Cable |
|
|
When people try to plug in the USB connector, they frequently turn it
the wrong way. This problem is annoying; you lost time and it could happen to force it in the wrong way. Ok for a simple design but it shouldn't be a minimalist design: there aren't effective signs for the right side to plug in. |
||
 Apple 30-pin to USB Cable  No tactile signs; just a pale symbol hidden by the thumb. |
||
|
|
||
 |
Suggestions | |
 This map shows the parts of the body next to the areas of the brain that process our sense of touch. The eyes and hands have a lot of space devoted to them; other parts, not so much. Image reference |
||
The Sensory Homunculus |
||
 Microsoft mouse 4500 with a bulge on the USB cable. So you can touch the right side to plug in. |
||
  |
||
| Why don't use a non-visual interaction design? Using a BULGE you can recognize the right side even without look at it, just using the touch sense. | ||

30 Most Baffling Design Flaws of Popular Products
30 Most Baffling Design Flaws of Popular Products
Hey now, we're pretty appreciative of the times we're living in -- at least we aren't wiping our asses with pine cones. But, come on, with as advanced as our society is, some nuisances that accompany things we use everyday seem pretty ridiculous. We asked you to show us the worst offenders, and gave a bunch of slightly bent dollar bills that won't be accept by vending machines to the winner

Good Design: Timex alarm clock
Good Design: Timex alarm clock
First of all it has very good visibility. Every button and dial are clearly labeled for its specific purpose. The labels are written in white ink which makes it very visible against the black background. The buttons are raised high enough for there to be a shadow, indicating for one to push down on them. The digital display is bright red with very large and easy to read numbers, as well as a battery symbol that glows red when it is running out. One quick glance at the alarm clock and it is easy to see where each function is.

11 Hilarious Examples of Bad Design
11 Hilarious Examples of Bad Design
Everyone makes mistakes. Often, these can be laughed off and everyone’s the wiser. But some mistakes are more serious than others, especially the ones that lose business or damage a brand.
This post goes over some bad design examples that are more funny than serious, but still highlight some pitfalls to avoid.
The great thing about mistakes is that they can be redeemed when we learn from them. And laugh at them.

Retro style radio set
 |
||
 |
What is wrong? the
Conceptual Model: - Designer put a switch on the left side to turn on the appliance - Users prefer to turn on by a volume knob. |
|
| In a radio set usually the volume
control knob is used to turn on, but on this old style radio the On/Off
switch is on the left side. The On/Off switch is not even on frontal panel but almost hidden on a lateral panel. This causes 3 problems: First problem: you have to search for On/Off switch. Second problem: when you turn on, if someone have left the volume set up on max, the loud music can hurt your ears. Third problem: to turn off you have to continue press the On/Off switch for 2 seconds |
||
 |
||
|
|
||
|
Suggestions | |
 |
||
| Using a single knob with integrated On/Off and Volume | ||
 |
||
| In this radio receiver, there is a more intuitive Volume Knob and Switch | ||
  Rocker switch Volume knob |
