Some ideas are better left as ideas. Whatever your mom dear friend or significant other says that bag you saw the other day on Etsy that looks like you are carrying a knife is a terrible idea. There is an online group called Awful Taste But Great Execution dedicated entirely to the gaudy, tacky, tasteless, overdone, plain trashy side of product design. But there is one but. The execution may be in fact, pretty alright. “For everything that
displays quality craftsmanship in the least elegant way possible,” states the subreddit’s description. And 1.4 million members seem to be totally up for it. From painful-to-watch objects to questionable designs, these people should have put a break on their brainstorming or put their efforts into something else. At least we have something to cringe over! Psst! More daunting stuff awaits in part 1. (H/T)
