'Love worry laugh': 20 Graphic design flops

These people have a passion for graphic design, and they're ready to show it to the world.

If you're an overthinker, you'll understand why some of these designs look so weird. The designer created a design, then thought, "That's too basic, I should tweak it a bit." Then after the first revision, they thought, "Maybe I can add something else in." And after many rounds of overthinking, they've produced something that looks cool to them, but is illegible to the average person. The point of most signs is to be easily read at a glance. If the consumer has to stare at the print for a while to decipher what's being said, it's not nearly as effective.

Scroll down and check out these 20 times that graphic designs went a bit off the rails. Next up, this dad got out of so many speeding tickets that he forced his government to change the laws.

The caption!

via u/JulianHivemind

This magazine encourages you to "visit" by showing you an active volcano. And the text at the bottom reads, "Use an volcano image and run this caption. Get up close and personal with an active volcano in Vanuatu on page 80. Photo Allan Stephen." Nice.
