People Couldn’t Ignore These 50 Good Ideas Executed Horrendously, So They Shared Them In This Group
Generally, what separates a good design from a bad one is that a good design focuses on making a product useful and doesn't include anything that takes away from it, while a bad design is confusing, distracting, difficult to use, and has a short lifespan.
However, what if the design that has potential was executed in such a way that the finished result has an inferior outcome? Well, it turns out that we get these half-good, half-bad sorts of ideas that, if done better, could be golden. So this leads us to a subreddit called Good Taste But Awful Execution (aka GTBAE), where people share their findings of these bad executions in the wild.
While exploring these hilarious design fails, let us know in the comments below which seems like the worst one yet. And if you are interested, check out a reversed alternative shared on Bored Panda previously, where the taste is awful, but the execution is great.

Although failed designs are sure fun to look at and try to fathom how they happened, they also affect our lives in smaller or bigger ways. After the funny part fades away, then follows confusion, then frustration and annoyance. Some design fails can even be hurtful, unintentionally racist or sexist, and in some cases, a bad design can lead to physical harm, such as when a poorly designed machine or tool causes an injury.

This is a great example of how important it is to do a test before reaching a final result. Just imagine how many of these examples could have been avoided, if not all of them. So why do people miss such a crucial step? Well, one of the main reasons is resources. To do a test drive, in some cases, can be time-consuming and expensive, especially for small businesses or individuals who are making, for example, cake for their child's birthday.
However, keep in mind that the cost of not testing can be even higher. A bad design can waste resources, cost money, and harm a company's reputation. It may even result in legal liability in some cases if the design causes harm to users.
My Home State Trying To Stop Meth Use With A New Slogan
We're on it! As in taking care of the situation or issue. That was the persons thought process and it is indeed correct. Or whomever thought about it thought to themselves, many people are on it as in having an addiction to meth. And wanted it to cover both being on it literally and being on it taking care of the issue. That right there is critical thinking and clever.

Too funny! Much like all anti-drug campaigns, they just can't figure out how to say it.
Methinks the problem might be the officials who approved this poster!
am i insane or does the person on the right kind of look like magnus carlsen
Why three football players that look like they're pretty much could be stoned? The slogan's bad the pictures worse.
Montana tried a similar campaign, seems to have made Meth quite popular.

Taking meth while playing football is another bad way to get a concussion. You won’t know what you’re doing or where you’re going.

What's ironic is that whoever designed this, was probably trying to be inclusive.
Extremely Good Taste But Definitely Awful Execution!
Overconfidence is another reason why people may avoid testing. They may believe that they have created a design that is error-free and does not need to be tested. This way of thinking can be dangerous because it can lead to the design missing potential flaws and weaknesses.
Luckily, most of the design fails here are rather harmless and will be more of a funny memory than a lifelong injury. It only depends on how you will look at it and whether you will try your best and learn from the failure or keep failing in the future until you do.
