Unless you’re a graphic designer or a person with an eye for arts and, well, design, you don’t think too much about it. We mean about the fact that the milk carton you have in your fridge was actually designed by someone or that the writing on your toothpaste tube is actually the product of somebody’s meticulous work. That is, you really don’t think about it until you encounter a case of bad graphic design. Then, the failed designs are glaringly obvious and utterly hilarious, making us think our thoughts sequencing around the key phrase, How on Earth did it pass the inspection? But, since most of us are human here and share the same passion for laughing at incredibly hilarious design fails made by someone else, we invite you to laugh at them together with this awesome list full of graphic design fails from hell.

So, the fact is you’ll find such crazy examples of bad design here, you wouldn’t have thought they were possible in the first place. After all, they are the fruits of somebody’s work; then someone had to approve them, then do the final layouts, and release these poor graphic designs into the wild. Again, How on Earth? Well, sure, some human errors can always slip through the cracks unnoticed, but these are just poor excuses for doing the job you were supposed to be good at. Anyway, more laughing stock for us!

Now, our top picks of the funniest design fails await you just a teensy bit below, so scroll on down and check them out. However, you probably shouldn’t check out this article while working, because once you start soaking in these bad designs, you won’t be able to stop until you’ve finished with the whole bunch - a hundred and five submissions! 

Oh, right, before you start - don’t forget to give your vote for the Bad Graphic Design contest winners and share this article with your graphic designer friends; we’re sure they will appreciate this cringefest.
