Andrew Cunningham Published 11/22/2024 in Funny

Get ready to laugh and facepalm your way through this collection of jaw-dropping design blunders and production goofs that prove a degree in design doesn’t always guarantee a masterpiece.

So buckle up and enjoy a rollercoaster of mishaps that will make you feel better about your own design skills (or lack thereof). It’s a gentle reminder that design isn’t always about having the best education, but sometimes about just thinking things through… or, you know, having someone actually check your work.
