The Opposite Of Design Fails: 50 Of The Most Brilliant Design Ideas That People Have Ever Shared In This Online Group (New Pics)
Some days it feels like the easiest way to go viral is to do something horribly. The internet loves poking fun at poorly designed stairs, terrible products, cake baking fails and certainly stupid things people have done. But every now and then, it might be nice to celebrate something that was actually done well. It may come as a surprise, but for every designer out there that you makes you question how they got their job in the first place, there is another one quietly creating masterpieces.
We found a subreddit dedicated to sharing “high quality images of interesting designs, including architectural, graphic, industrial, furniture & product design” and combed through their community to find some of our favorite pics. Enjoy this list of excellent designs that you might even deem “the opposite of crappy design”, and be sure to upvote the images that you find most satisfying and impressive. Then when you’ve finished this list, check out Bored Panda’s last publication on the same community right here.

This Wooden Owl Door From Copenhagen, Denmark, Was Created In 1930
This is absolutely gorgeous but all I can think of is hooty- *I watch way too much owl house*
That’s gorgeous! I would love to have some amazing artwork like that on my door.
I would definitely consider getting a custom built door exactly like this for my future home, I can see why this one made the top of the list

There must be plenty of amazing designers out there, but for some reason, the worst ones tend to find their work circulating around the internet. So where are all of the skilled designers hiding? Sergey Krasotin, design director and co-founder of Humble Team, wrote a piece for Medium titled “Why is it so hard to hire a good designer — and how to get a great one” detailing how surprisingly difficult it can be to find designers that will blow your mind.
First, Sergey sets a baseline of what makes a “good designer”. He notes that having a good set of "hard skills" is a must for designers. “Great designers are able to apply the best methods and practices to any project, without having to reiterate over and over. That means using design sprints and customer journey maps when they’re needed, knowing how to do design research and building a prototype,” he writes.
The Lost Class - The Agency Leo Burnett (Chicago) Held A Graduation Ceremony For The 3,044 Who Would Have Graduated This Year If They'd Not Been Killed In School By A Gunman
Almost brought a tear to my eye.. Definitely felt this in my heart. I can't believe it, 3,044 students, that's a sickening number...
Load More Replies...At a recent mass shooting at a 4th of July parade, a little 2 year old boy was found wandering alone in the aftermath of people running every which way. A couple saw him there, alone and scared, scooped him up and took him to police officers. He was alone because both of his parents were shot and killed. I am literally sick over all of this. The state of our country is...sad and frightening. I don't even know what to say to this photo and post. It breaks my heart.
I'm British and we realise that it is only a small minority of Americans who do this. The majority are decent people.
Load More Replies...How devastating and heartbreaking. Politicians should focus on protecting the living children, not unborn foetuses. Just proves that anit abortionists aren't pro life, its all about controlling women. Children should feel safe at school, I wouldn't go to school if I lived in the US.
I want to believe that US is still a safe place, but if the government are not strict about the gun rules, nobody is safe. How many lives needs to be taken away because of violence? How many times we need to hear this?
Load More Replies...Gun violence is the number one killer of children, not cancer or illness. GUN VIOLENCE.
John, these things do not exclude one another. Accessibility is what this is about. Crazy is everywhere, but if I give crazy tools to act on it, they will. Guns are just too powerful to be held in the hands of everyone. A few days ago, in the hands of a well trained very experienced Dutch police officer, dedicated to de-escalation, a young farmer boy still received a bullet in his vehicle. The 16 year old kid wanted to pass a police blockade, and while moving away from it, the officer shot at him. He luckily missed. The officer and as pumped with adrenaline about his job at that time. We have major protests by farmers at the moment because of hefty policy changes. We also allow minors to get their driver's license for farming vehicles in the main road. We let cops have guns. The officer made an error because he was highly emotional, anxiety is that. This could have gone wrong. Your basic rights do not include the right to own a potential.mass murdering tool. You already have a brain...
Load More Replies...I had to reread this several times because it didn’t make sense. 3044 kids??? Seriously? What in God’s name is going on???
From Time Magazine: "Every year, more than 3,500 children and teens—defined as infants through age 19—are shot and killed in the U.S., and another 15,000 are wounded in shootings, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data from 2016 to 2020, which was analyzed by Everytown—a nonprofit group that advocates for tougher gun laws and actions to address gun violence."
Load More Replies..."In school by a gunman" is that really correct? The stats on school shootings is horrible, but seems a bit much. Could it be overall gun violence?
It is not correct. This is blatantly false. It also includes grown adults at 19. It includes suicides and gang violence.
Load More Replies...Where is a list of these shootings? Over 3000 kids the same age? My BS meter is going off.
Edit: if u saw my first reply ignore it.... I looked it up and in Chicago da shooter killed 3044 kids from da same school..

Load More Replies...Sergey goes on to say that excellent designers are proactive and responsible for product goals. They should not require hand-holding. The best designers constantly come up with new ideas and pitch suggestions to improve products. Some additional characteristics Sergey recommends looking for when hiring designers are people that are team players, solutions-focused, born creatives, self-organized and individuals with great communication skills. “So how hard could it be to find a proactive designer with hard skills? As it turns out, pretty difficult,” Sergey writes. “Not because there are none on the market right now, we’re honestly sure it’s quite the opposite. The reason is that the working environment really matters." He remains optimistic, though. "With great team management and a team structure, any new designer will thrive — whether they’re senior or junior.”

Corner Desk
Absolutely love the folded corners! Hope it comes in other colors though because yellow gives me headaches.
Load More Replies...I think it is beautiful, but it is also staged. That is not how most people live with a desk. It's more art than function. While I like looking that, I would love to find a desk that was both beautiful and functional for how most people use a desk for work. I could sit at that desk and write a letter or leaf through one of those magazines. Not things I spend much time doing in real life. I can't see a good way to use that with a computer. That would obscure its beauty. That chair is attractive but not ergonomic. There is no storage. If I'm going to buy a desk for my home, I want it to be both attractive and functional for modern work. Even when you're looking at functional desks, they're often staged where nothing has an electrical cord. What I really want is great cable management, so my desk can look more like their vision.
Fair enough. It definitely doesn't look doable as a computer desk. But I think it would make a great desk for an artist like me! There's space to draw/paint and you could put supplies, paints, water, etc on the raised corners. Personally, I love this desk, minus the color.
Load More Replies...Is it just me, or would anyone else find sitting facing a corner like that very unsettling? Could just be my well-established paranoia, but I would need a mirror somewhere on the wall in front of me, to be sure that no-one was creeping up on me from behind... And while it's undeniably a cute and innovative design, I'm not sure that it is very practical.
That's a complete fail. They should have made the gap wide enough to fit a laptop
The first problem Sergey notes when designers don’t have a great set of hard skills is that no one ever pushed them to reach their full potential. He explains that designers cannot simply work alone and discover how to get better, they require guidance and mentorship. If they are pushed out of the metaphorical nest too soon, they might not learn how to fly. “Without someone there to point out their mistakes and make suggestions for how to improve, they’re never going to get better,” Sergey explains. “They can create a horrible design and get away with that. They can stay on the same level for years without getting any better and no one will notice. There is no authority, no critics, no movement.”

President Joe Biden stutters. His opponents try to make it seem like he's 'losing it' when it reality he just has to take a little longer or change the words. Obviously it didn't stop his career.
The actor who played Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer stutters. He's actually a spokesperson for a stuttering awareness organization.
Load More Replies...My husband stutters and its infuriating how many people think it's ok to laugh at him to his face when he does it!!!!!
I do too. It's so annoying, especially when you're trying to make a point
Load More Replies...Also they are used to mean the same thing, there is a difference between a stutter and a stammer. Stammering is when you’re having difficulty halfway through the word, and stuttering is when you’re having difficulty at the start of the word. I’ve got a speech impediment myself and Im very proud of it. Very proud.
I’ve done a lot of speech therapy with my child, including with some of the best stuttering specialists in my country and I’m afraid I must disagree with your differentiation. My understand is that the difference between stuttering and stammering is that “stuttering” tends to be the word used in Australia and the US, where as stammering is the British term. Perhaps the differentiation you make is used in your particular region?
Load More Replies...As a parent of a stutterer, it’s good to see some awareness going on!
My nephew stutters, but he is a rarity. He is also autistic, but he wants people who love him, to help him complete his words. He always says thank you and feels more comfortable.
I agree! One of my family members has a stutter, and I cannot tell you how many times they have been bullied and teased for it! It is quite incredible.
Indeed. I've only met a few but each time, i act like I don't even notice their stutter. It tends to improve fairly soon after they've realised that. <3
Stuttering and stammering do not mean stupid. Be patient and treat them with the same respect you would a good friend.
A Horrifying Cover From The New York Times
A similar repeated headline makes The Onion step away from satire with frightening regularity. I wish there was a solution that didn't involve firing every corporate lobbyist into the sun (if only because they're the only ones with the money for such a venture - hence the problem never going away).
I saw a clip of bojack horse man where women started using guns and men were saying all the things women say(like not feeling safe on the streets and stuff like that) and so they made guns illegal for the public to obtain. And it kinda hurt becuase yeah if women used guns and made men feel like they do it would end it.
"I can't believe this country hates women more than it loves guns..." "Really?"
Load More Replies...Sadly, that is the truth for a lot of people in this world.
Load More Replies...Jesus Christ. I know some will criticise what I'm about to say (and even tell me to go f myself), but seriously, you guys in the States need to have gun control. I know it's not that easy, that it doesn't even depend on the will of citizens who do want that, but the fact that after so *many* victims there are still people against gun control astounds me.
Jesus christ we know! Im an american you think we dont know? What is happening is horrendous absolutely horrendous and you think most americans dint know we need gun control???
Load More Replies...I am happy and grateful that in Germany (and other European countries) it is unthinkable that everyone is walking around with a gun.
We need better gun safety. I don’t know why many people don’t want that because as long as you haven’t broken the law or aren’t mentally unstable, you would still be able to buy a gun according to the laws that governors and states want to enforce.
Guns will always be available. Just like drugs. Drugs are illegal yet people find them and use them.
Another problem product designers may encounter is being “marooned on their own in a product team”. Working on a team can be vital to keeping ideas fresh and innovative. Sometimes, two heads (or more) are just better than one. Being able to bounce ideas off of peers can go a long way, and it prevents one person from having to shoulder the weight of an entire team.
One designer who has been working solo in a product team for years wrote, “For the past few months, I’ve been working on an app for a plastic surgery clinic in Los Angeles. One of the app’s features is a direct chat between a doctor and a patient that allows them to exchange all the necessary information and prescriptions. And you know what? I’m building it all from scratch, from the ground, while a similar chat for collecting patient’s test data already exists, made by a guy who’s sitting one floor below me. He’s even done a user’s testing and fixed all the main bugs. And still, here I am, doing the same things over again.”

You Ever Been Snitched On By A Cardboard Box?
I’m sure the delivery companies’ employees would disagree
Load More Replies...Delivery guys don't care. They have a 'what are you gonna do about it?' outlook. I mean, what are you going to do - call UPS and say your box says it was tipped at some point? They're not going to care. They barely care when their drivers wreck your bushes by driving over them or when your package contents are damaged because they threw it or stomped on it.
The carrier probably charges a fee to use this, if I had to guess. Pay for a tip sensitive shipment, they need to prove they didn't tip it, which also covers them if something arrives damaged, but the indicators shows they didn't tip it.
Load More Replies...Not sure if they still make it but they had one that used a really fragile vile filled with colored fluid that would break if the package was thrown around.
They still make those. Generically they're called "shock indicator stickers", but the ULine product is called "ShockWatch". I remember them being used on Mythbusters as a rough g-force indicator.
Load More Replies...So smart! Hopefully another company makes them too-Uline gives a ton of money to extremists.
Bright idea - from at least 20 ears ago. I know these things for decades on our delicate Instruments
I really hope that for the product testing phase, they just chaotically shipped barely taped, open topped containers of glitter in various sizes.

I used to work for that company for 10 years and you are not wrong. That place is absolutely toxic. I would never recommend them to anyone but if I say anything I am a disgruntled ex employee 🙄 They always value the dollar over their employees.
Load More Replies...When designers start to become burnt out, they tend to take a horizontal shift in their career. Feeling frustrated with too much work on a product team or being tempted to think they have reached the peak of their field, they give up on any vertical growth and decide to do something else. While it is understandable to want to mix things up, this puts them at a disadvantage. By starting at the bottom of another branch, designers make it even harder to ever attain a more senior position. Sergey stresses the importance of having a mentor, not only to keep an eye on a designer’s work but also to help them navigate their career trajectory. Skilled designers often move into product management or analytics positions before they have had the opportunity to reach their full potential as a designer. Then we end up mocking the new designer's work online in a list of design fails...

Load More Replies...Inclusive Picnic Table Design
Like the design, however if they truly want wheelchair users to join the table "with utmost ease," they need to add a concrete or asphalt pad. Pushing a wheelchair on rutted grass is not fun or easy.
While I find this fantastic, I do feel it would be better to have the Wheelchair access somewhere in the middle. Having a family member who was wheelchair bound, who, when in public was mostly always an “outsider" (as in forced to take place on the outside of the crowd) It would ve so easy to design a picnic table where they could be in the centre for once.
Easy? They would have needed 2 more sets of supporting legs on each side of the table to support the second benches, then the wheelchair would have to squeeze in between those and the people sitting on them. On the end they can accommodate as much extra width (or girth) as needed. No, this seems much more practical. And if they want to feel special, they can sit at the head of the table too. This is also a great design for people who like to sit at the table in their own chairs with back support and maybe cushioning and maybe arms, instead of flat-assing it on the bench.
Load More Replies...A wonderful idea. Nonetheless, for safety, it'd be good to outline the edges of the table with a different colour, so that little kids who are running around will not accidentally bump into them.
As a wheelchair user, I wish ALL tables, in public spaces indoors and outdoors, had this extension. It’s very uncomfortable to try to enjoy a rare restaurant meal while sitting sideways to the table because the table design doesn’t allow the leg extensions on my wheelchair to fit underneath.
When it comes to career opportunities for designers, graphic design is certainly a popular field. In the United States alone, there are currently about 175,000 graphic designers, and the industry continues to grow by about 1% annually. But as with any other industry, it is impossible to know exactly how it will be until you’ve entered the field. To help prepare aspiring graphic designers for their future careers, Brianna Flavin wrote a piece for Rasmussen University detailing all of the things she wished someone had told her before she became a graphic designer. The first thing Brianna notes is that boring work is just something graphic designers can expect. Another designer echoed this idea saying, “Being a professional graphic designer is just as much about working on tedious boring jobs as it is building cool brands that require lots of creativity. You aren’t always going to work on projects that are exciting and fun, but [less exciting work] is a huge part of the job that some find surprising at first.”

As a person who just became homeless, you realize the devastating way you are treated. Thank you for caring about us. It's the most devastating experience of my life. You have to try and find reasons to want to stay alive. People are so cruel and unbelievably unsympathetic. You have to give up every bit of self esteem and your sense of worth takes a nose dive.

This Amazing Door Design In Paris
Art Nouveau. THIS is what architects and construction planners need to refer to when designing and building - please, no more brutalism, concrete and glass boxes, cookie cutter designs and non colours! No more black, white, especially no Gray! Or beige. Forget sleek and inhuman - give us natural human spaces, shapes, colours!

Load More Replies...Collaboration is apparently a very important aspect of graphic design as well. “It’s easy to feel possessive about your designs or your ideas; but when you are working as a graphic designer, collaborating with others is a huge part of the job,” Brianna writes. “There are always more variables to deal with when you add more people to the work you’re trying to do—but… teamwork can be a very gratifying part of the role.” Although not everyone is naturally a great team player, working together must be a full proof way to avoid ending up on any crappy design lists. With the input of several skilled designers, the end result of a project comes out as strong as possible.

No matter how skilled a graphic designer is, they are never going to be perfect for every project. That might be another reason designs sometimes fall flat. “I went into this field thinking that a great designer can create for anyone,” says Shavanna Pinder, a graphic designer at Geek Powered Studios. “When in reality, client and designer pairing is much like any other close relationship; styles, temperaments, and values should complement each other.” Similar to how every client has unique preferences for who cuts their hair, who manicures their lawn and what doctor they feel most comfortable with, clients must find a graphic designer who they really mesh with as well. “It’s better for everyone—and a lot more enjoyable—when you and the client are on the same wavelength,” says Shavanna.

Load More Replies...Another difficult aspect of being a graphic designer is that sometimes clients just don’t understand everything that the job entails. “I was surprised by unrealistic expectations from clients,” says Natalie Downey. “Whether it’s a shockingly low budget or an unreasonable deadline, be prepared to have a solution.” She explains that sometimes it is necessary to set boundaries with clients when they are asking for too much or demanding they pay too little. It can be frustrating to feel like you have to negotiate, but as the professional who is being hired for a gig and who understands the industry, the graphic designer is ultimately responsible for communicating effectively and reaching an agreement with their clients.

Facebook did a ton of damage to democracy. Changing its name to Meta doesn’t absolve it of its crime against humanity.
Was it Facebook that did damage to democracy or was it the users of Facebook that did damage to democracy?
Load More Replies...I've been off FB for 2 years. Freed up my life and calmed my mind. All the politics here in the US was getting to me.
Same here, I separated myself from them about a year ago, and I feel so much better.
Load More Replies...If only there were a way for us to divest from Meta collectively so that they no longer had the power to abuse the public...is there a way to stop using it?
Is the point that you can easily slip your arms/hands out given the size of the loops?
Can someone explain this to me and what Meta means? I know I can Google it, but I'm coming to you my fellow Pandas.
Facebook changed their name to Meta. The meaning of the word itself means extremely self-aware or self reflective.
Load More Replies...Think about how hooked people (especially teens) are on Facebook - by design. Now think about how consumed their lives will be with a virtual reality headset on, spending their lives inside an artificial world. Some will do it so much they think of the real world as strange and undesirable. It will be the downfall of civilization.
Where's the threat? :-) Everyone would be grateful, including the addicts, sorry, users themselves.

Maybe it should not be shocking when we find excellent examples of design out in the world, but there’s nothing wrong with celebrating them. In fact, lists like this should encourage aspiring designers to continue working hard and to ignore any crappy designs they encounter online. You don't have to fall into the trap of horrible design! We hope you enjoy the rest of this satisfying and impressive list, and don’t forget to upvote the images that stand out the most to you. Then if you’re looking for even more examples of excellent design, check out this Bored Panda list next.

If the black hair was turned so it was horizontal, it would be an Anti-Chaplin sticker. 🤔

This Lidl Lithuania Grocery Bag Promoting Paper Bags Over Plastic Ones
Anyone old enough to remember grocery shopping in the 80's when the big thing was switching to plastic to save trees? Back and forth. Reusability is the only property grocery bags must have.
Yeah, the paper bags were the plus but...paper bag manufacturing requires long-fiber old-growth trees and....back to square one. Reusable used 100% of the time and passed down to later generations is the only answer :)
Load More Replies...They are not better. Growing cotton requires a lot of water in scarce areas and also pesticide. Best are hard-woven, reusable, durable plastic bags. There is a great video about this on YouTube, either by SciShow or by TedEd (I don't remember, maybe both).
Load More Replies...It's hard but while paper disintegrates way faster than plastic, it takes like 1,000x more water and energy to make a paper bag compared to plastic (or something ridiculous like that)
But if we use plastic bags, we kill the ocean, if we use paper bags, were killing trees. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO!?!?!?!?
I remember when I was a kid and they promoted pastic bags as being more eco friendly. Should have stuck with the paper ones to begin with.

Why, because government subsidies for solar - developers build the solar fields, get their money, then walk away when it doesn't produce "as advertised". SAVE OUR FARMGROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about we stop subsidizing corn as a food and gasoline additive and actually grow food? Solar panels may keep the climate stabilized enough that we continue to have ANY farmland at all..and water.

This Poster Protesting Against The Beijing Winter Olympics
I absolutely support this but let's not kid ourselves. The western world isn't protesting because of China's crimes. They're protesting because China is a political adversary. People gripe a lot about politicians lying but they lie just as much. If crimes against humanity was what really motivated these protests, we'd have seen thousands of unending protests by Americans when their military bombed hospitals or when they used depleted uranium on innocent Iraqis or when they provided weapons to their allies and let them carpet bomb UN shelters and strike red cross ambulances. Instead, we saw their shrugged shoulders and disrespectful defences of the crimes so let's have some moral consistency here. Let's protest not just the crimes of those antagonistic to our own regimes but our own states as well.

Good heavens. It's a cookie. Can ppl stop being so hyper sensitive & get over themselves. I'm Afro American. The thought of a Japanese man with an afro made me burst out laughing!

Ticket Box Offices At My University’s Theater Are “Hidden” When They’re Closed
Smart and sneaky! I work at a library, and we always have people trying to ask for prints and other things after we've already taken our money back to be counted for the day. I'd love to just close part of the circ desk down like this.
The Soho Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan
I was just about to say that this is one of the most perfect examples of aesthetic randomization that I’ve ever seen 😅

Nytimes Magazine Antiwork Cover
No, nobody wants to work for the shitty wages and conditions any more. Heaven forbid if employees want fair pay and respect in the workplace!
This from people who have NEVER worked in shitty conditions for very low wages.
Load More Replies...Low pay, no benefits, no employer wants to work anyone full time anymore (because benefits), no unions, rising costs, et cetera, ad nauseum. Gee, no wonder no one wants to work, and this is coming from a public sector employee with a city job. It affects even people like me. If I wasn't living with my father, and us splitting bills, I'd be living out of my car.
When no-one wants to work just to further increase the "profits" paid to CEOs
Honestly, the minimum wage is just pathetic. It really needs to be raised so its not this shitty
Raising minimum wage never changed a thing because the minute it is raised then every commodity and service get raised too, so it just stays the same as it ever was.

Unless they're giving those girls some alcohol for the pain of waxing, they shouldn't be able to call it a bar. lol.
I know some people love it but the hair there for a reason, I'd prefer to just trim. I also can't imagine the discomfort of stubble of ingrain hairs. And what about manscaping, double the trouble with stubble!
Well, laser is there for those who absolutely loathe "extra" hair and also loathe stubble/ingrown hairs as well. To be honest, if I had the money I'd immediately laser off my leg and armpit hairs. Haven't thought of the rest yet, but those would go in an instant lol

This Packaging For A Digital Polaroid Camera
Bad business idea though. My friend has one and the photos are tiny and rubbish. It'll be dropped this year.
But you can see them immediately, instead of having to wait a week or two for them to be developed on your smart phone.

The Front Page Og A Danish Newspaper Today
I'm sorry, I can't find a way to translate the Danish. Can someone provide more context?
I'm not great at Danish, but I think it says "11 September 2001 became the starting shot for 20 years of American war on terror. Bill Kristol sponsored the Bush administration's far reaching plans to bring democracy to the Middle East following the attack on the World Trade Center. Today, he acknowledges that he and his neo-conservative brothers-in-arms were too optimistic."

Seems kind of cruel to financially benefit off someone you caused to suffer...
Mike Tyson fought Evander Holyfield years ago. Fight ended when Tyson bit a chunk off Holyfield's ear, giving him the nickname "Evander Van Gogh".

Hemp Monoblock Single Mold Chair
I was OK until l read the "egg crate" comment below. Now all l can see is those grey cardboard egg crates. They were as ugly as these chairs
Single mold... You guys think it'll be heavy?? It already looks annoying to move across a room lol.
Hemp is a very strong material :) although I agree, as strong as hemp is this design looks like it will be a lil bendy!

Well, you could say that, or you could say that a successful design is one you don't think about, in which case you shouldn't call these a success. up to opinion I think, but really I think they were just trying to say "it's the opposite of the design fail posts we also have here" while also avoiding using the name of the subreddit
