Stumbling upon a good design is as likely as finding a needle in a haystack. That’s why it’s crucial to pick the right person for your design project. But it seems like the folks in these stories either got hoodwinked or missed the memo on thorough vetting. The outcome? A collection of design disasters that certainly didn’t hit the mark. Yet, there’s a silver lining for the rest of us – these design fails are side-splittingly funny. It’s the kind of humor that’s best enjoyed from a safe distance, because when it’s not your problem, it’s comedy gold.
