“Bring bad design to justice” is the motto for design-police.org, a site where you can download a sweet “Visual Enforcement Kit” targeting those horrible public displays of poor design. Some people in this world can’t tell the difference between leading and kerning. These people ignore widows, confuse en and em dashes, and even think Microsoft Word is a design tool! These people must be made aware of their mistakes, and the public should be well informed in order to steer clear of bad design.
Some of my favorites:
- WIDOW
- Force justify creates bad word spacing
- The inch glyph is NOT a speech mark
- Unnecessary use of Photoshop effect
- Warning: low resolution image
Download any of the five provided templates and print them on sticker paper to be armed and ready to distribute design justice.
