R690,000 of South African tax payers money has been spent on this design for the upcoming elections…

From News24 – “This is without doubt the worst design I have ever seen,” a blogger called David wrote on the iMod blog. “The level of design is shocking,” Ruark commented. “I know of 6th-graders that do better designs,” Wogan added on the same blog.

These guys designed this in less than 24hrs…

133T Project

In the meantime, a new organisation, the 133T Project, was formed by IT industry professionals in Cape Town last week “to sort out the IEC website”.

“The 133T project began with an attempt to recreate the design of the IEC website in just 24 hours,” Mills, who also is a member of the new organisation, explained.

Haha. Got to love the level of incompetence, ignorance and denial.

Transport for London is turning to graphic design to get people on and off the (baaaa) tube in a safe and orderly manner (baaaa).

This is a fairly old story now, but I felt quite sentimental when I read it. Even though I hated it. Netscape the browser is officially no more. It is dead. Long live Netscape. Or as John Cleese would say, “It’s not dead, it’s just stunned.”

Again, this did the rounds a fair while ago, but if you missed it and you’re looking for some vintage old school inspiration, check this out. I love old school design and paraphernalia, can’t get enough of it. I am a hoarder though.
