Paragraphs on the article "How to ruin a great design"


How to ruin a great design
This article talks about how something already existing, something great, can be tuned into something bad. I like the way it defines what a bad design is. It says it comes in many forms and it identifies it as something “unsafe. Things that don’t work properly, or are unnecessarily complicated. Things that are ethically or environmentally unsound.” This, of course, means that a design doesn’t just look pretty but I also needs to be functional. It goes on saying that committing a crime against design is to “deprive us of the joy of great design, by wrecking or replacing it.” This article also states that the traffic signs of London have been redesign for the worst. These signs are inconsistent hurts the eye and complicated. On the other hand, some are better than before.
            Also, the person who approves the traffic sign to be used on the roads need to pay more attention. The author says that when this things (bad design, functionality) slip without being unrecognized by whoever takes charge of an intelligently designed system, is the worst. It also gives other examples like the redesign logo of UPS, Citroën, and the elegant Egg and Series 7 chairs, designed in the 1950s by the Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. They turned those classic beauties into “kitschy new forms that mock the originals”.
