How to make really bad interfaces
I stumbled across this article last week when I was browsing the net and I thought I should share it with the rest of the world since it’s really funny.
Everyone talks about good design rules for good interfaces so Gerd Waloszek from SAP AG decided to do the contrary and compile a series of rules for Bad User Interfaces.
It’s easy to picture yourself in some of those situations, I particulary like the rule “You are the expert and know what users need – because you know what you need. Why should they need something else?”.
Anyway, the article can be found at “Golden Rules for Bad User Interfaces” in SAP’s design guild along with other related articles.
