When the product designer is out on vacation, or when an owner thinks they don’t even need one, they end up having seriously bad designs. The kind that are either utterly useless, fool the customer, or underdeliver and litter this precious planet with all the more rubbish nobody needs. Here are some examples.

On the other side of the same coin, right next to trashy design stands its flawed cousin with a nightmare twist—creepy design. Delivering sweats and forcingly captivating people’s looks, such design has little to be proud of except for its torturous aspect.

Thanks to the subreddit r/CreepyDesign, we now have the most spine-chilling examples to feast our eyes on and thank god you’re not an owner of any of these.

It's the bad design plus the blatant lie about fetal development for me.

Yeah. Eyes don't even START to develop until week 3... (Edit: "start" meaning the development of the eye fields and optical groove. As in, that's when it's decided _where_ the eyes and optical nerve are going to be. The eye fields don't become recognizable eyes until week 7-10)

Pro-birthers are like PETA and anti-vaxxers. They all spout lies to suit their narrative.

They are also monumental hypocrites. PETA kills animals, "pro-li(f)ers" don't give a rat's a**e about human life unless it's a) in the womb or b) white, male, straight, wealthy, and fundamentalist Christian.

Somehow this ad just makes it more appealing to have an abortion.

That's disgusting, abortion should never be appealing whether you ar po choice or pro life it shouldnt be something you are proud of, you made a poor decision concerning your sexual activity and now a medical procedure is required to make up for your own carelessness good on you for being an irresponsible human being

Because anti-abortion people are already stupid when it comes to fetal development. So it's obvious they would mess this one up too 🙄

14 days after conception, the baby had eyes. Once born, the baby developed 32 teeth right away, I wonder if the baby has wisdom teeth as well 😁.

Totally better for people to have babies that they can't care for and subject these children to a foster care system that is overwhelmed and quite often filled with people in it for the money and not the children.

They may have not added the teeth and some babies are born with teeth

“In my opinion, each design project needs to be well-thought out. Designers have to always think about what the customer will feel after seeing the product, its advert or a commercial.” Laura believes that a meaningful concept should always go prior in order for a design to be truly successful.

“The most common design error when creating a product is not thinking about the client. The person who will actually see the product,” Laura said and continued: “The brands and companies need to know their audience and what value they can bring to them.”

The graphic designer also added that staying original is key. “Don’t try to create something for everyone, that is how cheap things are being made and they lose their value. The design needs to have a value, concept and bring good emotions,” she concluded.
