45 Awful Design Fails From Designers Who Turned Poor Choices Into A Career

I went to art school to be a graphic designer but apparently you can just design things with zero training or common sense and still get by.

Aside from all the bad AI design, there’s still a ton of folks just designing things poorly the old fashion way. With a lot of these, all they’d have to do it run it by ONE other person to find out they should maybe take another stab at it.

These design fails aren’t just bad, they are a reminder that your first draft of pretty much anything is trash. Revise, edit, and have some self respect.
