The Opposite Of Design Fails: 50 Times Designers Nailed It And Got Praised Online (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
The world is full of all kinds of designers, from the inspired and creative to the lazy and derivative. What sets truly great designs apart from all the rest of the ‘competition’ is a focus on empathy while balancing function and form.
When a creative professional truly cares about the person who ends up using their product, it shows. The members of the r/GoodDesign online community showcase some of the finest examples of user-friendly design, and we’ve collected some of their freshest posts to share with you. Scroll down for some inspiration!
Bored Panda reached out to world-famous pie artist and published author Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin, @thepieous, for her thoughts on truly great product, tool, and packaging designs. She was kind enough to share some great insights with us that should help anyone who bakes or cooks. Check out our interview with her below!

The Wine Box Is Designed To Be Reused As A Birdhouse:)
Bill Swallow 2 years ago
Friend of mine was enrolled in an online subscription that sent her three bottles of wine each month. The bottles were shipped in a lightweight wooden 'crate' with two slats that divided it up into space for three bottles. She turned two of these crates sideways, added labels, and they became a very nice, sort of rustic-looking spice rack. Genius, and not unattractive.

There are public parking garages in my area that do the same thing. So you don't have to drive down a row looking for a spot if there aren't any green lights.

Apple Labels Consumers Do Not Need To Pick Off

Sun brings the colour. An orchard I lived on sprayed sunscreen on apples to prevent sun burn. I’m guessing they stenciled this on with a similar compound.
