Product design is a well-paid profession for a reason. While it may be tempting to cut costs and corners by going DIY with a YouTube tutorial instead of hiring a professional product designer, unforeseen consequences lurk for the untrained and unprepared. That said, it can be quite fun to have a laugh at other people's mistakes, and mistakes are no more obvious than when it comes to crappy design and engineering because they are there for all to see!
We here at Bored Panda have collected even more examples of hilariously bad design, following on from other posts here, here and here. How these funny fails ever got approval is just mindboggling, and really makes you think twice before attempting that kitchen replacement you have lined up! Perhaps consider calling in a professional. Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to upvote your favorite design fails!

They needed to use this font because most of these bands are not Hard Core enough. Broken Hope and Benighted are alright. The Russian one is Way too hard core.

In the world of design, sometimes the results are more hilarious than functional. With product flops, the lack of proper execution can resemble those completely misconceived signs previously discussed. It's always amusing to see how humorous mishaps can arise from what were likely earnest attempts to convey a message effectively. You might find parallels in how signs can occasionally be unintentionally funny, just like some product designs.
For more laughs at unintended hilarity, you can delve into these misguided signage attempts.
