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.

In daily life it is need to everyone to protect our self from the attack of mosquito. We know that it is worked based on power. If the power is gone, it’s won’t work. In India 70% of the people are living in rural areas. In that areas power is not available all the times. In most cases in rural areas power cut is happening at night times. It is the time for attacking the mosquito. While people are using the mosquito repellent if the power is cut, automatically mosquito will attack. Due to this peoples are suffering from illnesses, like dengue, malaria, typhoid.To avoid this type of problems it is better to modify in other way.
