Examples of Graphic Design That will Stop You in Your Tracks

When you get right down to it, the whole point of graphic design is to create something that is a) memorable and b) attention-grabbing.

And what could possibly be more memorable or attention-grabbing than something that just straight up stops your brain because of how baffling it is?

With that in mind, as we scroll through these graphic design fails brought to us by Reddit, we have to ask: ARE they really fails? Or are the people behind these things secret geniuses?

We can’t know. There’s just no way to know.

“YOU HEARD ME!”

Fun Charts That Are Both Cool and Educational

Few things in the world are more aesthetically pleasing than a well-organized chart.

Whether it’s a flow chart for work or even one of those customary restaurant CPR diagrams, there’s just something about orderly visual information that makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Nowadays, that sort of feeling is mostly reduced to memes… Which isn’t bad, but it isn’t necessarily good, either.

If you’re looking for a little more intellectual stimulation, you’re in luck. We’ve got a fresh batch of the internet’s finest coming your way. Here are 13 fun charts that are both cool and fairly educational.

12. NATO Phonetic Alphabet

That’s what this thing is called. You’re welcome.

11. Golf swings

I don’t call them any of these, I just scream swear words.

10. Water and land

Get your butte over here.

9. Fruit products

It’s all jelly to me, man.

8. Generations

Where do you fit in?

7. Animal lifespans

Ah, to be a clam. Centuries of life in exchange for literally never doing anything ever.

6. Dash lights

Maybe check this before you slap some electrical tape over it.

5. Screws and bolts

Never embarrass your dad again.

4. War planes

From “small vroom” to “big vroom.”

3. Types of sugar

I’ll take them all, please.

2. Bacon methods

You can’t go wrong.

1. Screw heads

They look like flags of questionable organizations.

And there ya have it, hope you found something useful there!

What’s a fun fact you’d like to share with the class?

Weird Signs That Will Make You Do a Double Take

When I first moved to a city, one of the unexpected challenges was reading the parking signs. It wasn’t that they were too small, or dirty, or that my vision was bad, they were just inscrutably complicated and at first glance seemed designed to ensure that I’d always be parked illegally. These days I’m a pro at deciphering those bad boys, but I still come across weird signs and symbols all over the place.

This collection features some great examples of the kinds of things that would make you do a double or triple-take as you’re making your way through the world.

15. Time is relative

14. Well, I’d hope so

13. Math is hard

12. “Hey honey, I incorporated how much I hate you into my truck logo”

11. Check yourself before you wreck yourself

10. Yes, I’ll have a Big

9. How do you make donuts sound unappealing?

4. “I don’t know, just make it brown so they don’t read it.”

3. No judgement whatsoever

2. I’m sorry, what?

1. Graphic design is my passion

I feel like one or two of those might be Photoshopped, but, truth is stranger than fiction, so, who knows.
