What do we consider good design? Packaging that's pleasing to the eye? A product that makes our lives easier? A structure that blends in seamlessly with nature? A design that's sustainable but practical all at once? Maybe it's something that fits the criteria for all of the above.

Here is a collection of examples that implement all of the above in design. The subreddit r/GoodDesign is for those who appreciate pleasing visuals and mindful execution. Check out these design innovations that prove not everything has to suck. Product and packaging design can be practical, original and beautiful at the same time.

Bored Panda also reached out to the mods of the subreddit. So scroll away to find the best of r/GoodDesign and read on for our interview with one of the moderators of the community.

The community we're covering this time has a pretty straightforward name – r/GoodDesign. It's where people find and showcase great design. It's not particularly large in numbers. Although created in 2012, in more than 11 years it has amassed a modest 30k members.

And although that might not seem like a lot in these times of viral content, it's still in the top 5% of all Reddit communities. Bored Panda reached out to the moderator KingDrude of the subreddit. He was kind enough to tell us more about how the community is doing and what it's like moderating it.

    It cavers the mental collapse of Justin II, the war between dowager Empress Sophia and Empress Anastasia, her sucessor, the reign of Tiberius II (the first Greek speaking Cæsar) and the papacy of pope Gregory the First, also known as Saint Gregory, the Great (before being pope he was a Senator and the prefect of Rome, he also oversaw the conversion of the Franks, Lombards and Visigoths. John Calvin would later claim that pope Gregory was the last good pope). A very interesting time and book. But the whole collection is wonderful for anyone who loves History!

    The story of how KingDrude became the moderator is pretty straightforward. "They needed moderators and I applied," the Redditor simply says. "I had been following the sub for a while and I quite enjoy moderating."

    Small numbers don't always mean less work. The mod tells us that the workload depends on the activity of the community members. "I have been [a] mod on other subreddits with the same amount of people and that was much more work because it was more active," KingDrude tells Bored Panda. "This sub isn't extremely active, so not a lot to do."

    It looks wonderful, but it isn't the best design for a wheelchair user. There should be a greater flat section between the ramps, and there should also be a barrier to prevent a person wheeling up the first ramp, and flying off down the stairs. It's a good try, but still needs improvement.

    It's great that more people are trying to mainstream disability access etc. However, as a wheelchair user, no way in heck am I using that. I'd be terrified of my chair missing a turn and tumbling down the stairs. That's not safe to use.

    Cat Chat is correct. Many wheelchair users are not wheelchair bound, but need them to reduce pain and increase mobility. Even those who can't walk at all most often see wheelchairs as vital independence devices, not restrictions. It varies, of course! People do have different preferences. That said, I agree on this ramp. I have heard wheelchair users respond to this picture, and they say it's extremely unsafe. Nice for non-disabled people to see, but not actually useful.

    Absolutely correct; this is for a shelter organization. Due to the nature of domestic abuse shelters are usually separate for men and women. I notice that this particular shelter's website lists shelters for men as well.

    Good grief you whiny babies. A photo from a women's shelter does not mean there is zero help for men. Reminds me of people who visit a breastfeeding page offering resources for nursing moms and claim they're offended because they use formula.

    How does a piece of paper at a women's only shelter mean that people think men don't get abused! I'm genuinely confused by how you could have come to that conclusion. What if a similar photo had been taken at a men's shelter? Would you cry about women?

    What makes a design good? This time, let's talk about the graphic design world. Whether it's a website, a book cover or a poster, there are seven main principles that designers should adhere to. The first one is emphasis. It's the first piece of information the designer wants the audience to see. It should stand out – either be the largest, in an eye-catching font or a contrasting color.

    The second principle is to balance and align the elements of the piece so that the visual weight is distributed equally. Think about designing a piece as a room. You wouldn't want to cram all your furniture in one corner, would you? The same applies here. That doesn't mean good design can't be asymmetrical, but it still has to have a balance.

    All puzzles should come with this! Also, to all the people who do a puzzle once and donate it to a thrift store or give it away: please write on the back/on painter's tape (it's removable without leaving sticky residue) that the puzzle is complete or if it has missing pieces. I don't understand why anyone would bother passing along a puzzle to someone else when it has missing pieces. Just recycle it if there are missing pieces! I did a lot of second-hand (Value Village) puzzles in 2020 and most of them were complete but I just recycled the ones that had more than 6 pieces missing. It's disappointing to do a puzzle that doesn't have all the pieces.

    The third principle has to do with contrast. It's how well a designer arranges opposing elements to entice the viewer visually. Designers do this either with color, texture, shape and size. Graphic designer Meg Reid refers to this as what people mean when they say that a design "pops!" Examples can be a bright background with dark colors or small objects positioned next to a large one.

However, where I live they can be recycled with the other pasteboard items, or (more often) given to my cats who like to set them as traps for me, to see when I'll break my ankle, leg, hip, back, neck, etc. (I'm sure there's a point scoring system for them, too. 😹)

    Repetition is the fourth principle of good design. Repeating a font, a group of colors or a text can create a motif. That in turn helps brands create an identity. If something appears only once, it can be simply an error. If it appears more than once – that's already a pattern.

    Roku remote. They’ve had these for years. Comes in really handy for us. My husband starts work in the wee hours of the morning g (think 3 or 4 am), and I’m 9 to 5. So I’m up late and he’s up early. We can watch tv with the sound up using the earbuds and not disturb whoever is still sleeping.

    Even if your remote doesn't have a Aux jack, you can download the Roku app and do private listening via your Smartphone.

    Roku users: You can download the Roku app and use the digital remote control to play the tv audio through your phone. You can use whatever headphones or earbuds you use with your phone or iPad including wireless headphones. It’s awesome.

    The fifth principle of good design is proportion. There can be bright colors and differently sized elements in a design, yet it still can be pleasing to the eye. What's the secret to that? Looking at a design in sections rather than as a whole.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Designers can group small elements together to establish their relationship with the parts around them. Ticket information on a concert poster, for example, is in a small box at the bottom of the poster.

    Extra layer of genius design: to have the rail safety attached to the ceiling you need to branch in 4 different directions (exactly how it’s done). If you were to use a single pole that would need to have sold joint and complicated parts, while this design of just 2 pipe bended makes the execution even cheaper than a single one

    A good design should lead the eye from the most important information to the least important. That's where movement comes in. If there's one element that draws the eye as if it's in the wrong place – it might need adjusting. The viewer's gaze should move organically from one design element to the other.

    No, it's for when you need a different dosage, depending on the circumstances. I had a sleeping pill like that so I could use a smaller/larger dose depending on how much help I needed that night. Same thing for a migraine prescription I had... depending on how bad it was would determine how much I took.

    And for those who still don't think covid is a problem: YES IT F*****G IS. I just spent 5 days in hospital, and whilst obviously not in the same bay/room as me, there was covid patients on the ward. struggling to breathe, attached to oxygen masks, drips, and bedridden. fighting for survival. Maybe for most people that are fit, young and healthy, it's not a huge issue, but there are still plenty of vulnerable people out there, including the elderly.

    The last principle of good design might be the trickiest. It's not about what a designer does, but more about what they choose to leave out. It's white space, also referred to as negative space. Particularly perilous to beginner designers, it's the unmarked area that lets the viewer's eyes rest.

Masks, gloves, hand washing, sanitizer, social distancing, cleaning, and contactless systems ae only partially effective by themselves -- if you use all of them together you get much closer to 100% (the more you use, and the more often you use them gets you closer). Also, the one place resistant bacteria and viruses are highly likely to be found is on the items that are intended to kill them.

    I used to work at a home for developmentally disabled adults. Every (normal) weekday, they took their lunches and went to the day program site for work. Some of them counted out hardware pieces like this. They had a paper that showed each screw and nut or whatever. They covered each picture with the right piece, like a toddler's puzzle. When they had all the pictures covered, they bagged the set of pieces, and started over.

    It's not to keep from getting lost. It's to know which section to go to to find what you need. If I've never been there and wanted to go straight to the dairy section, for example, I could use the map and go straight there. Even if the store is arranged as a loop, it's niceto know so you could speed yourself along.

    Much rather have a holder for my phone, because I use a shopping list app where I can store prices, and have an idea of how much I will be spending. Once something goes in my cart, I cross it off the list. Oh, and also a purse hanger would be handy, to free up space in the top of the cart.

    I work in small supermarket, and we are moving things around constantly. We have no choice- the store has to look nice all the time, otherwise the inspection will take away our money. So when something is sold out, we have to fill this place with other products.

    Tesla vehicles are fully electric (the ac system runs with electricity). In a conventional car, the compressor runs along with the engine that rotates a pulley and compresses the gas of the ac system. In a electric car, compressor needs just electricity to compress the same gas.

    its a pity most saucepan/pot designers have forgotten what the holes on the pot handles are for. originlly they were for putting your utensil handles in so they dripped back into the pot but now the designers seem to think they are hanging them up to catch dirt. if you look at your grandparents old pots and utensils you will find the utensils handle fits nicely in the holes and the untensil end drips into the pot. now everything has a slick modern look but nothing fits as it should.

    Hardly. Just as much teamwork and training is involved as there is in traditional sports. Can you imagine the dedication required for a group of 12 spread out across 5 time zones on two different continents to all be available, online, and ready to attack a South Korean clan at 4AM their time?

    This should be norm. I'll see a house on House Hunters in Europe and they have those bathrooms where the toilet is in a separate room. So you have to finish and touch everything, including the door k**b to get somewhere where you wash your hands. Doesn't make sense to me.

    We are in Japan, and discussed having these. The manufacturer (Toto) told us that if we do have toilets like this, you shouldn't use soap, because it damages the plumbing. It sounded weird, but when the manufacturer themselves advises against it, we listened. We don't wash our hands without soap, so we just put sinks in instead.

    This is in the Netherlands, where people cycle a lot. This 'blikvanger' is actually only for cans and is closed at the end, so no cans will fall in the water. The 'blikvanger' can be translated as 'can catcher', although the meaning of the word is eye catcher. Even though not every can will end up in the 'blikvanger', they will be around it and so easier to keep clean.

    Not because there is now a deposit on cans and small bottles too? Or is that just the Netherlands? Either way clean every bush shrub, gutter (and people's gardens :( ) takes a lot more time than cleaning a single spot. I have never seen hardly anything lying around/under them. (Though with actual garbage cans I have seen this a lot.. small opening I guess and people can't be bothered to stop walking while tossing something in ..)

    What if there's only 2 cubes left in the jar, and not on the direction of the tongs?! You move them in place with your hand, first?! :))

    That's not the problem. You can move the whole lid around if you just lift it a little bit. The cubes aren't flat, you'll still reach them. The problem I see is putting the lid on when the bowl is full, as the cubes would be in way of the tongs.

    If you've ever had to take a busy elevator every single day you would know exactly why this is useful. When its packed full it's quite the pain to reach over to the panel. You must rely on asking someone to push your button. Couple this with the decline of courtesy and the incline in Airpod usage and it becomes quite the irritant.

    What if you don't turn the handle all the way so it comes out slower and lower?

    I have one sink that goes directly in the hole and it doesn't in my other bathroom. I prefer the one that doesn't because it's easier to rinse the whole thing.

    Still useless because everyone defines "special character" differently. Here's my everyday password, /%/K\G˜,_sO¦R¥ÅÀbݾöàˆ~¼Ð‚Â4×òO____?ù;ñN:è1?x🇸½Žñç It requires special keyboards, and if you are going to try it manually, you have to know how many underscores there are in a row.

    I have a system for my passwords that makes each password unique, but I can easily remember too. But I came up with my system before special characters were needed sometimes and it would be SO helpful to know if I needed to add it into my calculations.

    It would be much better if it just didn't have the arbitrary rules in the first place. They contribute almost nothing to making them more difficult to brute force/use dictionary attacks, and they create a usability nightmare. Whenever possible I use a 4-5 word passphrase - very difficult to crack, trivial to remember.

    I've found a system that works quite well, until now at least: my first name Capitalized, the @ symbol followed by the site/service name, last two digits of the current year. Very easy to remember, if the site/service is too long I shorten it to the first three letters

    Tbf in my state the manhole covers have either sunk into the asphalt or the road has been paved so much around the initial cover that they are actually potholes themselves but much larger and more frequent. For my audi a3 2006 it's a nightmare driving when i don't know the road.

    It’s a little device that helps you pull off the keyboard key caps :) I’m not exactly sure why you’d need that, maybe to clean crumbs and dust, but I sometimes prank my coworkers by switching the letters on their keyboards around so that’s what I’d use it for!
