UMO - 7th Boycott Bad Design Contest'11
Education plays a vital role in the development of an active citizenry of a nation. A well educated population is able to take charge of the many issues facing society, including social problems and political decisions, rather than sitting by the sidelines and allowing someone else to do deciding for them.
Design in essence is a message, it is a medium through which designers and businesses communicate how a new product and service will make our lives both easier and exciting. We the design community should take the ownership of educating the users and consumers of products and services through better design. So much so that peripherals like communication design and information design around these products and services gets quite crucial in informing and educating users about them.
UMO encourages all enthusiasts to highlight adverse effects of bad information design every where around us. Please bring in real life issues ranging from a piece of ticket (any ticket), forms/e-forms to labels & product packaging, medicine packaging/ labels, product manuals, movie posters, government notices, news papers, magazines, information systems, maps, signage, webpages and many others that we encounter in our day to day use.

The tap is too close to the edge of the sink. This gives less space for the water to fall into and makes washing hands harder. Instead, tap should be placed more centrally and little higher, so it becomes more usable.

A lock is a mechanical or electronic fastening device that is released by a physical object, such as a key. Due to regular performing the action of opening and closing the locks, our semi conscious mind develops a sense when the door is closed i.e. a particular sound (takk) is produced when the key successfully rotates in the lock and our brain gives the signal that the lock is closed.
