28 Examples of Great (and Not So Great) Designs and Ads

Nathan Johnson Published 03/08/2024 in ftw

Designs come in many shapes, sizes, and as well as varying levels of quality, ease of use, and practibility. There are tons of great products and expertly crafted advertising, but on the flip side, there are also some less-than-stellar creations out there.

In this collection of pics, we prove that not all products and designs are created equally, so we left the bad and poorly made ones out and instead decided to showcase some of the best ones we've seen.
