Misfits of Interaction Design

 

misDesigns are misfits! Designs to be ashamed about. Designs that belong in a hall of shame...

One thing is complain about the state of affairs. Another is to do something about it. We do both! We ridicule bad designs but also show how to fix them.
 

Problem:
Adobe PDF Writer asks its users for help but makes helping very difficult
Solution:
If you want my help, dont make it hard for me!
Problem:
Adobe PDF Writer informs its users of an error in a very non-human manner
Solution:
I'm not a machine... I prefer human language!
