Good Days, Bad Design

It is said that bad design costs as much as good design. But when you see bad design it's stands out like a sore thumb on and other wise normal hand. Yesterday was a particularly good day for bad designs. Two examples were spotted on vans; this is the prime place it can be spotted even when you are not looking for it. The examples below were spotted while out with family.

"Air Supply" seems to bare little resemblance to air just pieces of metal. It appears to be a default emboss with a strange font and border for no reason at all. A text warp has also been applied. I don't even understnad the mustard yellow colour of the background. It doesn't contrast the logo enough to work a long side it like it normally would.

 

 This one appears to have no structure or layout and just looks lazy. Comic Sans in varying colours, key lines and shadows. Clip art as far as the eye can see. Then some out of date information to advertise the city and not the actual company.

Photoshop Wanderings

Have your random Photoshop wanderings ever turned it to a towering cityscape at lunch time? Nope. Neither had mine until the other day. I started messing around trying to replicate a post modern piece of Graphic Design from a uni text book and ended up with this. So failing my intended target, I made a nice pretty picture for you all.
