The world is full of all kinds of designers, from the inspired and creative to the lazy and derivative. What sets truly great designs apart from all the rest of the ‘competition’ is a focus on empathy while balancing function and form.

When a creative professional truly cares about the person who ends up using their product, it shows. The members of the r/GoodDesign online community showcase some of the finest examples of user-friendly design, and we’ve collected some of their freshest posts to share with you. Scroll down for some inspiration!

Bored Panda reached out to world-famous pie artist and published author Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin, @thepieous, for her thoughts on truly great product, tool, and packaging designs. She was kind enough to share some great insights with us that should help anyone who bakes or cooks. Check out our interview with her below!

But limiting. You’d have to completely remodel the room to change it. Maybe for something like shared dorm rooms, or camp cabins?

very cool looking… but the beds on top of each other? For siblings, yes, would work. But for college dorm room or roomates… no! If you’re on the bottom bunk and your roommate brings over their partner over at night. Yeah, I don’t think so. Splitting The room down the middle with a curtain w/a bed on each side of the curtain would be better.

According to pie artist Jessica, your creativity is a powerful asset. You can get a lot done even if you don't have a lot of tools and gadgets at your disposal. "When I started my career as a pie artist, the only baking tools I had at my disposal were my own two hands and a toothpick… And I am a firm believer that creativity in the kitchen is not gadget-dependant — you can make wonderful things, and have a blast doing it, with a very limited tool kit! Indeed, sometimes not having access to the right tools for the job is precisely what spurs on those wonderful discoveries, new techniques, and new baking formats," she told Bored Panda in an email.

"All that said, as I grew in my practice and started to become more efficient as a kitchen denizen, there were a few tools and gadgets that became indispensable to me. Not because they helped me develop my creativity necessarily, but because they cut down on time, frustration, and mistakes."

    Only 38? The Netherlands at least twice the number in overpasses. Then there are the smaller tunnels under the road for smaller animals. They run in the hundreds. If you consider the areas of nature that is connected by them in total cover an acreage of the size of the New York city Metropolitan area, the amount is impressive

    Quite a lot of those collisions happen at night, that no matter how many precautions you take, you can't see the animal until they jump directly in front of your vehicle.

    When I worked with the developmentally disabled, their day program had a group assigned to collecting the screws and everything for furniture and such. They each had a paper with the silhouette of the screws and other bits printed out in exact size, and the exact quantity. The client would fill the paper with the same shape and sized pieces, rather like a toddler's jigsaw. Most of them, simply from the sheer repetition, could fill their paper out fairly quickly. When all the shapes on the paper were covered, they bagged up the pieces, and started over again. Most of them were very proud that they worked.

    excellent and pretty obvious really!

    Jessica shared her top 3 kitchen tools and gadgets with us:

    1. "A really excellent, and properly sharpened knife. Volumes have been written on the subject for anyone looking to go down the 'good knife' rabbit hole online, but suffice it to say, no single tool will have a greater impact on your speed, precision, safety, and—if you’re a food artist like me the level of fine detail you can achieve in your work!
    2. A decent food processor. If you make a lot of dough or batter and you really care about consistency between batches, a food processor is an indispensable tool. It allows you to precisely measure how much you are blending certain ingredients, and with certain fussy culinary chemical reactions, that is a critical variable to know. It also helps you keep your ingredients cold, and cuts down the time it takes to combine them, which is very handy with recipes like pie dough where the clock is ticking on the fat melting and making your dough tough.
    3. An oven thermometer. Knowing what temperature your oven actually is, and if it has 'hot spots' (if the temperature is higher in some areas of the oven than in other parts) may just be the final piece of the puzzle for anyone wondering why their bakes always turn out different from the recipe. It is rare for ovens, especially older ones, to heat precisely to the temperature on the dial in every part of the oven. If you find your dishes turn out over or underdone on occasion and you don’t know why, invest in a cheap oven thermometer! Then you can adjust the temperature up or down, or rotate your baking sheets during the bake to ensure the proper doneness."

    Friend of mine was enrolled in an online subscription that sent her three bottles of wine each month. The bottles were shipped in a lightweight wooden 'crate' with two slats that divided it up into space for three bottles. She turned two of these crates sideways, added labels, and they became a very nice, sort of rustic-looking spice rack. Genius, and not unattractive.

    How do the baby birds get out to learn to fly? It looks like the hole is too high above the bottom of the nest. Also, Audubon Society recommends no perch in front of the hole. Makes it easier for predator birds to stand outside and stick their heads in. TLDR: IMO this is not a "nailed it". It is a design fail and a marketing gimmick.

    Tested in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata since 2014. The experiment showed no improvement in accident reduction, and was deemed outright dangerous with in fog, rain and night condition. The excess of lighting make water droplets glow blinding the driver and making difficult to understand which lane and street has the right of way. Further tests with a limited implementation in Turkey and Ukraine basically confirmed this.

    Bored Panda was interested to hear the pie artist's thoughts on what kinds of baking tools and food packaging she'd wish were designed better. She was happy to share her thoughts on this.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "I was in a foreign city baking for a client and had to pick up ingredients that were not my usual brand for the gig. The sugar I bought came in a cardboard milk carton-type of package with a spout for pouring. I had never seen anything like that before and after easily pouring out precisely the amount of sugar I needed directly from the carton without spilling a grain, and then simply sealing it up with no bag clip or elastics or fumbling mess needed, I was gob-smacked," she opened up to us.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Why isn’t every edible powder ingredient sold in a milk carton? It’s wonderful! And such a simple concept to make pouring and sealing your ingredients simple. Now I can’t open a bag of flour or a jar of baking soda without wistfully thinking about that strange and wonderful 'sugar in a milk carton' packaging."

    Meanwhile, Jessica said she often wishes that it were easier to open cans of pumpkin filling and jars of olives. "Can openers are a pain in the butt, and glass jars with metal lids are often incredibly difficult to get open. Perhaps one day some genius will come up with an idea for a form of packaging that is air-tight and hygienic, robust and compact for shipping, environmentally friendly and economical, but that pops right open with a simple touch/twist/command. The person who can develop the patent for such a package will be very rich indeed. And people with motor function challenges will no doubt label them a hero!"

    Somewhat related PSA: Sometimes you can get a prescription for twice the dosage you need and just cut standard pills in half. The co-pay, and often the actual cost, is the same regardless of dosage so a cooperative doctor may be able to cut your costs in half

    Except in some meds cutting through the outer protective layer (aka creating raw edge) changes the release schedule of the d**g. Always check with your doctor before you start messing with pills that don't have a clear indicator that they can be halved!!

    If you want to be a successful designer who creates quality products, then you really do need to put your customers first. You can’t get around the fact that you need to know your target audience extremely well.

    What are their wants and needs? Their hopes and dreams? Their potential pain–points while using your competitors’ products?

    When you start identifying what makes your customers tick, you can avoid some (though probably not all) potential design pitfalls.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    You can conduct focus groups and show people various iterations of your product to see what they (dis)like and prefer. You can ask your colleagues, family, and friends for their input. And then sift through all the advice to see what’s actually good criticism and what’s just a matter of taste.

    Because it increases the risk of theft. Clamshell packaging is designed to deter thieves by making the item harder to remove from the package so harder to conceal. This is a perfect door handle for quick removal and hiding of the item.

    No matter how great an expert someone is, it’s so easy to get lost in your work that you no longer see the forest for the trees. An outsider’s perspective can really help you see some aspects you need to improve on that you might have missed.

    However, that requires a measure of humility. It’s one thing to be confident in your skills and vision. It’s another thing entirely to be so arrogant as to assume that you can make no mistakes.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    When your customers get their hands on a product that is miles better than anything else on the market, they’re more likely to be loyal to your brand. If you make their lives better, why shouldn’t they return for more quality products and services?

    You basically risk alienating your customer base if you lean too much into either function or form. On the one hand, if what you’re offering isn’t at all practical or ergonomic but just a monument to your artistic vision, many people likely won’t buy your product. If the needs of your customers aren’t met, you’ve failed as a designer (even if you might succeed as an artist).

    1 year ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Depends on whether it's sustainable palm oil. A lot of countries experiencing deforestation are developing, and they need to make money. Eco-tourism can only go so far. Most developed countries have already deforested our own land, and it's a bit rich telling other countries not to do that to theirs, when it gets them jobs and income. Palm oil can be a solution - if done sustainably, it can be used on cleared forest to bring limited plant life back to the area and provide jobs and income. Demonizing all palm oil is unhelpful. A better approach would be to promote sustainable palm oil instead by looking for the RSPO logo.

    Also, avoid limonene. It is not good for the environment and can cause irritation on the skin. In rats it can cause cancer and even though it has not been proven to cause cancer in humans, I still avoid all products that I possibly can with limonene. At the very least in products for my kids.

    This would only work if the market doesn't change its set-up. Ours will every once in a while decide to move stuff around in an effort to bring more items to your attention, i.e. buy more. Our local Super Walmart completely changed its setup, pet supplies are now in the back where the shoes were and shoes are split up with the different clothing,

    On the other hand, aesthetics are also important. If your product is extremely functional but god-awful to look at, you’ll have a hard time when it comes to marketing, advertising, and getting consumers to even glance at the item on the store shelf.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Sure, iterating your designs to be more appealing can be costly. But if you save too much at the cost of appearances, the awesome functionality of your product might never get the chance to be used in the end.

    The r/GoodDesign online group is fairly niche. It’s a tight-knit community, currently standing at 33k members strong. Their main goal is to bring people’s attention to examples of truly great design, no matter where it’s found.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Be it web-based or not, if the design is good, then post it,” the moderator team running the subreddit urges everyone.

    Everything and anything you end up posting on the group should, in some way, be related to high-quality designs. If you go off-topic too much, you might end up getting banned. Sometimes, even permanently. It makes sense: it’s a design-focused community, after all.

    In the meantime, all the members are encouraged to put in a bit more effort and post more or less original content. If you end up reposting images that were shared within the last month, they’ll be removed. Furthermore, you shouldn’t repost pics that are in r/GoodDesigins’s Top 100 of All Time.

    Good basic idea, but now nobody gets an opening that's the right height and 16 or 24" wide. And based on the top plate above the studs either the joists are too low or the right half is for people who are at least 7' tall.

    BAD DESIGN!!!! These things are practically useless and potentially dangerous. I've seen older people fall down stairs trying to use them. During crowded commute times, leaning your bike into the crowd on a staircase is a waste of space. Yes! Pedals, handlebars and saddle bags hit the wall and kick back. I've been commuting on a bike for 30 years, I only made the mistake of using them a few times. What really angers me is that civil engineers think this is an upgrade, put them in every new stair case, and have stoped trying to design something better. Us cyclists are supposed to be grateful for a death trap that none of us asked for.

    The funny thing about this is they're always on the opposite side that I'm used to. I can manage walking my bike from the right side, but positively can NOT get on from that side. So whenever I have to switch sides for whatever reason, it's a very slow, deliberate dance with myself, the bike, and gravity. I've genuinely considered biking out to some unpopulated area and practicing getting off and on from the right side.

    According to the mod, who has experience working with other communities, the workload isn’t all that huge because r/GoodDesign is a smaller group. He shared with us that he’s a big fan of “satisfying and innovative design.”

    Also; clever use of words. Blikvanger means eyecatcher. But blik is also a homonym for can. So cancatcher= eyecatcher.

    This started with road cleaners who made a pile of rubbish they collected along the cycle path and put it in one place. They put a sign next to it saying 'this is uninsured damage' (in Dutch: onverzekerde blikschade). Then they noticed that people started throwing more junk on that pile, instead of throwing it everywhere. A clever guy added the ability element by giving the cyclists a target. Now these things are everywhere where cycle paths are heavily used by youths.

    Years ago I bought some furniture (the kind you assemble at home) and the pieces were wrapped in these big paper sheets. So I saved the sheets that weren't damaged and then I had paper to wrap presents in for a few years. On top of that, my kids could make nice drawings on the paper before we wrapped it around the presents. It was the best thing ever! My bf thought it was silly. But I loved it. The kids loved it. And everybody loved receiving gifts from us 😁

    I don't think it's more plastic, and if it is, it is only by a very marginal amount. It appears though, to be the normal size bag that has been sliced in half, & sealed.

    Fiber One tastes very good if you mix it with flavored yogurt or juice. Add preserves, jelly, or jam if you have plain yogurt. When you're over 45 you'll be told to increase fiber in your diet. Fiber equals better poops !

    I like it with fruit! And the two bags are great because you don't eat it in the same way you eat regular cereal. This helps the other half not go stale on you

    Natural gas is odorless and a hallucinogen - they add one of the most offensive smelling gases to protect the public (and stop the huffers). When I worked at NOAA, we received tank of the gas, it was tightly wrapped, sealed inside a container inside a container - when the outer box was opened the entire building was evacuated due to the smell

    True, but restaurants in Spain can't give the clients any refillable container with olive oil; it must be served in individually sealed little bottles or fancy containers like this one. The client opens it, uses the amount they want, and the rest is thrown away. It's such a waste!

    While the basic layout of bicycles may appear to have not changed very much, every last piece of that one is hugely different from what would have been around on the first "safety" bicycles, so in fact the design has changed hugely over that time.

    Just checked... in 1886 the front wheel was about 5 times the size of the rear wheel. This person needs new glasses.

    Enough for two weeks (or seven days if BD) plus one if you lose one dose. If that's the normal duration of treatment, why put more ?

    I like the ones that also have perforated lines separating them, so you can just put one dose in your purse etc.

    I usually push my thumbnail through the backing, in spite of the instruction to push the through from the other side. (I'm such a rebel!)

    Is it normal to have the pills at right angles to the foil sheet, instead of flat?

    It's the fact that they're packed sideways on, instead of flat in the sheet. I imagine it would need a bigger box, or fewer sheets in the box, so I don't see the benefit.

    I make industrial heaters, we have been doing this with packaging for years. Had one this year where the customer didn't follow the advice and picked the packing case from the middle. Next thing I knew I was building a replacement 500kg heater, wish I could of seen it happen.

    Why would anyone read the instruction on the package... they've been picking up boxes all their lives.... they don't need no stinking instructions. This box above clearly shows two people are needed to pick it up. 🤣😂 Mark: I hope the customer did not expect a free replacement!!!!

    It often comes packed in its own brine and occasionally chunks of cheese break off or there are crumbly bits you don't want to waste

    This is all we need. Public restrooms should have stalls for everything, and people can choose whether they want a urinal or not. It's not difficult.

    Everybody is getting their knickers in a knot over this bathroom. Ask yourself: Have I ever seen a line out side a men's bathroom at a game? Have I ever seen a line outside a women's bathroom at a game. Can you see the problem now?

    Aside from the aesthetic of the exterior wall not being very appealing (in my opinion), there isn't even a functional change here, so how would it impact you? There are still two washrooms here. All they've done is label them by the fixtures available, instead of specifying who they think should use each. Everyone can choose whichever is appropriate to their needs.

    This isn't great design. It means that men have twice as many options as women. It gives the illusion of being a step forward bit is actually a step back.

    It's not BP's fault. BP just steals content/posts/comments straight from Reddit. The original poster on Reddit typed the incorrect apostrophe. https://www.reddit.com/r/GoodDesign/comments/18s58wn/can_you_tell_by_its_design_and_appearance_that/

    When I went through the Rolfing deep tissue massage that corrected my posture, the therapist instructed me to sit in chairs that have the front lower than one's butt, which changes the bend of the lower and upper spine and prevents slouching.
