50 Times Designers Deserved A Raise For Their Genius Ideas (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Good, well-thought-out craftsmanship tends to click intuitively—typically, you instantly know whether a thing has been designed well. You look at it, you use it, and you can tell if it feels natural or if something’s off, even if you can’t put your finger on exactly why. Though the world is full of blunders and misfires, there are also lots of brilliant examples of products, furniture, graphics, and packages.
Quality things garner huge online follower counts. Case in point, this online community, which counts its members in the millions, wows the internet by sharing really cool designs. We’ve collected some of their freshest featured posts to show you what’s possible when you think outside the box. Scroll down and don’t forget to upvote the pics that impressed you the most. We have our favorites. Which ones are yours?
Bored Panda reached out to Matt Johnson, PhD, to learn about the importance of product aesthetics, as well as getting the intended message across better through graphics and packaging. He was kind enough to answer our questions, and you'll find our interview with him below. Johnson is a marketing psychology expert specializing in topics such as consumer psychology and serendipity.

Stained glass is always lovely, in itself, but I'm not impressed with this. If you're going to go simplistic with glass, you'd better be Gaudi or Denney.

Cover Art
I'm a meteorologist and the baby boomers I work with are going crazy over the cover art for this climate report. The report documents that 2023 is the hottest year ever recorded. Temperature is often displayed in circular graphs, but does anyone under age 30 know what a record player is? What do you think: good design or not?

It usually says to get premium to see the rest, but yeah, it sucks. And if someone comments on a comment youve posted, if the post is hidden under the paywall you can’t even access your own content or respond.
