More Bad UI Design

Since my link to the Worst User Interfaces thread on Stack Overflow was so popular, here’s another one along the same lines. Via usabilityblog.com, a flickr collection of «Questionable Designs».

Redirects

There’s also a flickr group called «Unusable» which has a ton more. Happy weekend browsing.

If you liked this, you'll love my book. It's called Designed for Use: Create Usable Interfaces for Applications and the Web. In it, I cover the whole design process, from user research and sketching to usability tests and A/B testing. But I don't just explain techniques, I also talk about concepts like discoverability, when and how to use animations, what we can learn from video games, and much more.

You can find out more about it (and order it directly, printed or as a DRM-free ebook) on the Pragmatic Programmers website.
