Discussion Bad Graphic Design

[ADT50]

Saw Robbos article today in Herald Sun with a pic of Johannison running away from a Saints bloke on 'Saturday night' was last year when they wore the dog jumper and saints wore their clash. A bit lazy I thought

 

[Dylan8]

I should clarify that I enjoy them with the highest degree of irony

 

[SugarShane]

I'm with Dylan, I quite like them. I think they're intentionally bad just so you can have a half second 'Ha' at them

You sort of have to decide when you're going to photoshop something like that whether to go all out or not. It's the kind of thing where there's not a lot of middle ground. It's either good enough to look right, or it's "so bad it's good". The ones that are in the middle in an uncanny valley of sorts are usually the worst because you can see they tried and thought it was good enough to let out into the public, when it's really just not good.

A "lame headline/graphic" competition would be a fun exercise.

Could even be a weekly thing. Choose one match per round to construct an image with a bad headline, in the same style as afl.com.au has done.

Would be very interested in finding the cheesiest headline possible.

Best part is that good execution is only preferable, not a necessity.

Shouldn't the white be on the outside?

North have a white base with three blue stripes, which means a blue stripe is in the middle of the jumper.

There isn't any issues with that icon.

But collingwoods has a black stripe in the middle. As much as I love sticking it up Eddie, that's inconsistent.

 

[lmach]

Geeez

 

[Roo Beauty]

Is that a Harley Davidson motorbike pun?

Terrible.

 

[Dylan8]

Actually that's a pretty good one.

 

[Gibbsy]

I never liked that damn switch anyway

Not to mention that's a button not a switch

 

[Gibbsy]

Well, is it?

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Can I start that Lame Headlines with Accompanying Graphic competition yet?

 

[Dylan8]

AFL.com.au are the Michael Jordan of so-bad-its-good headlines

 

[NM_Mitchell]

That one's fantastic.

 

[MKMatty]

It's almost like they're just taking the piss with their own content. I love it! Maybe they're having an internal cringe-off?

Like how Ch7 continually send rompingwins out to interview the Auskick kids depite his clear ineptitude with children.

Those poor kids probably convert to NRL after those interviews.

[Easton Thighs]

Is this a reference to WWE's Boogeyman?!

Well given the mods haven't replied (after asking several times over several mediums) and comps need mod approval, then I'm waiting for that.
