The Opposite Of Design Fails: 50 Of The Most Brilliant Design Ideas That People Have Ever Shared In This Online Group (New Pics)
Over the years, we at Bored Panda have released quite a few pieces on subpar design. And while these publications are incredibly fun to prepare and scroll through (just take a look at this one), we need to balance them out a little. After all, not every designer is an incompetent 3-year-old. Some of them are 4... light-years ahead of the competition.
There's a subreddit that features high-quality images of interesting designs, including architectural, graphic, industrial, furniture, and product design, and even though we already covered it once, there are so many gems on it, we need to do a follow-up. From a restaurant half-sunken into the sea to a suitcase that can measure its own weight, continue scrolling and check out the best that human ingenuity has to offer.

We, regular users, usually see just the finished product. But there's so much more that goes into actually creating them. To learn more about design, we contacted Nicole Phillips, who has been working in the design industry since 2005 and has a background in fine arts and advertising. Phillips specializes in logo design, branding, and package design for food & beverage, beauty, health, and interior design clients, and for each project, her work is unique and never linear.
"The design process requires research, experimentation, and even a bit of psychology," Phillips told Bored Panda. "When I feel frustrated with the process, I remind myself to take a step back, have fun and play. It's those moments of play and experimentation that usually create the best results, but it's those hours of research that help build the foundation for the final result."
"My clients are not paying me for my time, they are paying me for my many years of experience, so if I am able to complete the design process in 5 hours rather than 5 weeks, this is a sign of my years of experience and knowledge, this is valuable," she added.

Trying to determine whether or not a particular design is good, many turn to Dieter Rams and his '10 commandments.' According to Rams, good design is innovative, makes a product useful, is aesthetic, makes a product understandable, is unobtrusive, is honest, is long-lasting, is thorough down to the last detail, is environmentally friendly, and involves as little design as possible.
Nicole Phillips agrees with the German design legend.
"Good design includes a good balance of function, form, and fun," Phillips said. "The user shouldn't have to try too hard to get what they need from the design. Good design isn't just aesthetics, it should communicate well and push boundaries a bit. Good design solves problems."
To paraphrase Don Draper from Mad Men, it's simple but significant.

Sorry Haters, but there was more COVID DEATHS IN 2021 than 2020...this DESPITE Joe saying "unlike Trump, I have a plan" as well as multiple vaccines.
More died under Bejing Joe than Trump, despite Joe having several vaccines.

Wrong again for the 89th TIME! It came from China, from the Wuhan Lab. Remember?
FACT: Biden campaigned on "...unlike Trump, I have a plan for COVID." FACT: Biden eventually turned over COVID responses TO THE STATES. FACT: Several vaccines were available in during Joe's first year in2021 FACT: MORE people died of COVID during Joe's tenure in 2021 than Trump's 2020 outbreak.
Ministry Of Propaganda is strong with media...history repeats itself.
So convenient that the MSM publications were so silent on the fact that your President tried to initiate lock-downs very early in the Covid pandemic but the State governors refused to comply by saying "Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose a national lock-down" but then they turn around Blame him for the spread.
I thought this would be a fun read, until I realized it was a Trump bashing tour. I wish this Trump derangement syndrome would end soon! It’s only dividing us more and you know that! When will y’all understand at least half the country voted for him?
This didn't age well, especially considering the human cost of locking down the country. It would have been better to do nothing.
More people died under Biden then Trump. Is Time going to run a cover showing Biden swamped in covid? No. They are politically left and are totally partisan.
probably one of the orange guys numerous Christmas party super spreader events - -when asked why he said 'well, it's Christmas'... he's the 100% perfect example of Darwinism... and narcissism and tyrant wanna-be
So much different to Obama's Martha's Vineyard party that was an actual verified spreader event? You people are willfully ignorant.

Anybody confirm he even had it? in and out of hospital in a flash, hard to believe it was not one of his stunts
News flash: the majority of people who get it have only mild symptoms or were asymptomatic. Less than 2% of infected people are ever hospitalized. Not hard to believe at all.

Oh, Christ, everyone STFU, it doesn't matter where it comes from or who's fault it is, it's still killing people and the fact that basic human compassion seems to be a rarity nowadays just proves how tribalistic modern politics is.
Lmao I only care about myself and my inmediate family. Your life, your problem. COVID is not, nor ever was, a deadly pandemic. Only 20% of cases developed serious symptoms and less than 2% were even hospitalized.

At present this fits Biden who has left our southern border open and 100,000 thousand are crossing each month and are not being tested and they are dispersing across the country...Talk about a spreader event.

Theres a faucet at the Cheyenne mountain zoo hippo and penguin exhibit restrooms that are three in one, it's a horizontal faucet, one part dispenses water, the middle part dispenses soap, and the other is air dry
I saw quite a few 2 in 1 recently in the airport, shaped a bit like airplane: middle part provides water, and the side parts work as air dry. There is no rounded plane shapes, simply the style (middle tube, and two tubes to the side from the middle of water one)

There's political and then there are phenomena like the American precidency. I think that, considering it's no longer only of national concern, is bigger and beyond politics.
Quit saying, "This online group." EVERY SINGLE TIME it is Reddit. Just say "we stole this from Reddit."

Your political messages aged as well as Bidens video saying Putin would stop all aggression and respect Biden😂😂😂
Why is the political bias against Trump necessary? He made mistakes yes, but he is all and all a good man and a great president. Besides I see no reason to put politics into this usually amazing website.
I'm getting pretty tired of trolls posting their anti-Trump and anti-conservative crap. I never see anything pro-Trump or pro-conservative...is that by design, or do you simply have a large number of leftists who read your posts? Either be fair and let both sides post, or don't post anything from angry leftists. We're ALL allowed to have our own opinions, but it's infuriating to only see stupid posts and/or comments from leftists.
Really cool ideas If your reading this I hope you have a great day and know. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
Why did jesus supposedly heal some lepers in the stories, but he didn't cure the disease leprosy itself? Some people still suffer with leprosy to this day. Was he incompetent? Evil? Just wants certain people to suffer? Science has largely cured the disease leprosy. Thank scientists! Can you name a disease god has cured? Science has actually cured a number of diseases. Do you have any evidence that any gods even exist? How is jesus god's only son? Aren't we all supposedly created in god's image? Didn't god create Adam and Eve? The bible says pray for anything you want in god's name & god will give it to you. Can you please pray to regrow the limbs of an amputee? Petitionary prayer fails. What makes you think heaven is real then?
