UMO - 6th Boycott Bad Design Contest'10

Communication is the new order of life on our planet. H2O, O2 and a skill set on our resumes is not enough anymore to survive in this ever growing complex ecosystem of life.

Mobile and social communication is a big buzz word and why not, after all we have over 300 million mobile subscribers.

Communication is one of the most basic and also the most complicated of human expressions. Depending on the context and situation, communication can address plethora of emotional needs and can make or break relations, career and business. Communication is the most powerful of all mediums. But unfortunately and inevitably we let developing technologies seize the control of our communication. Medium has become the messenger and message itself now.

Boycott Bad Design Contest'10 encourages participants to look at various means, modes, mediums, products and services of communication from the most latest micro blogging rage like Twitter on the Internet to the not so pre-historic mediums like newspapers, radio, television and telephone. All identified bad designs must be currently in use.

One can find LPG cylinders in almost every kitchen in India. The problem with them is that not everybody knows the way of putting the regulator over the nozzle of the cylinder to make it work. The prime users of these cylinders, the women folk have trouble in establishing a way to manipulate the regulator knob. They have to ask the help of others to put the regulator on the cylinder and on it properly. I think it is a problem which can seriously hamper the safety of a household.

If you are into "notorious" cars, this might be the pick of the auction. The Aztek is synonymous now with bad design.
