Good v. Bad Designs

The Bad: Creation Museum


This site is an example of bad design because it does not have much of a hierarchy on the page, has no photo (just a background picture), and has hard-to-read text because of all the neon colors. The title of the museum is also broken up into different font sizes, styles and colors, which makes it hard to determine what the name of the museum really is. The rest of the text is simply stacked below the title, without a particular order of importance. And the use of bright colors and shadows is very distracting because it clashes with the background.


The Good: Indian Legal Affairs


This site is an example of a good design because it looks clean, attractive and easy to navigate. Although there are several different colors on the site, they complement one another well and match the colors in the photo on the top of the page. The site also has an air of professionalism and order, which is shown by the descending font size of the titles as you scroll down the page and the menu bar on the left side of the page.
