# data[].attributes.body
Good and bad design: we think more bad as you are limited if you have more than two people that would like to sit there, no cover when rains and kind of awkward sitting position.

# data[].attributes.body
Good design: Waze app has a good UI and is easy to use. It separates itself from other mapping apps due to features such as marking road obstructions and police.

# data[].attributes.body
bad design:

Discourages use – People may avoid taking one if it’s too much trouble.

Messy outcome – Users might leave the stack untidy after digging for a fresh copy.

Not user-friendly – It doesn’t consider quick or easy access for everyone.

St George app:

Lack of icons and graphics to make the page more readable. The layout is very cluttered and too text oriented to a point that it's affecting the overall accessibility.

# data[].attributes.body
Good：Anti-slip mats are designed on the edges of the steps to prevent passers-by from slipping, especially on rainy days when the soles are slippery.

# data[].attributes.body
Bad design: the menu is way to large to properly see

# data[].attributes.body
Elevator:

Unclear design on which level the lift is on.

The outdated elevator doesn’t provide clear information on waiting time.

The button is far away from the doors, may result in user confusion

Stylish Look – Asymmetry adds a modern, eye-catching design.

Personalized Use – Ideal for different sitting habits in the same space.

# data[].attributes.body
Bad：Many software always pops up ads or even jump directly to ads, making users irritated.

Good：Let users know more about software or products on the market.

# data[].attributes.body
Good design: This cabinet is space efficient and unfolds nicely in the corner.

# data[].attributes.body
Bad physical design: Campus Directory. The map does not identify where the map user/reader is, i.e a ‘you are here’ tag. This adds a layer of difficulty as the user will not know where to commence their route from.

# data[].attributes.body
Good:1️⃣prevent people from slipping on the last step. 2️⃣use eye-catching colors to alert people that there are steps ahead. Be careful!

Shortage:1️⃣it is still some distance above the ground, which may cause people to trip🫨

1. Paper straws absorb liquid quickly and lose their structure over time, especially when used with hot beverages.😭

2. Unpleasant mouthfeel and paper taste
Some paper straws have a noticeable pulp or chemical taste, which can affect the flavor of the drink.

3. Not heat-resistant
They can delaminate or break apart in hot drinks, and may even release adhesive residues.

4. Not reusable

Unlike stainless steel, glass, or silicone straws, paper straws are intended for single use and cannot be washed or reused.

5. Not always truly eco-friendly
Some paper straws contain plastic or PLA linings that reduce biodegradability.

6. Their production still consumes water, energy, and generates carbon emissions.

# data[].attributes.body
Good design:

The tap automatically turns off when you release it, preventing water waste. It helps conserve water, which is good for the environment.

Although it’s aesthetic, the chair can’t be moved and it’s too narrow between two chairs. You can't straighten your legs when there is someone opposite. Moreover, the wooden chair is very sticky after the rain.

# data[].attributes.body
No point of reference or indication of where you are on the map.

Directions and orientation of the map could be clearer

Pros

# data[].attributes.body
Good 🤯

# data[].attributes.body
Bad Design: There's an inlay that creates a puddle when it rains, this makes it uncomfortable to sit and can rot the wood.

# data[].attributes.body
bad design:

1. The paper often gets stuck or tears unevenly.

2. The opening is too tight or sharp, which damages the paper.

3. Because it tears badly, people may end up pulling more than needed which wastes paper.

Poor digital design: Apple photos app.

Difficult to locate specific photographs, layout is overly complicated. Non-essential features such as AI-created slideshows appear before custom albums and favourites, for example.

# data[].attributes.body
X1 Bad Online Design → USYD interfaces - multiple websites such as myusyd, timetable connections, sydneystudent,  canvas, usyd email, service and support webpages are all on different pages making it difficult for students to navigate and have easy access to their resources.

# data[].attributes.body
bad：There is no shelter on the table, and if there is sun, it will be very sunny, and if it rains, it will be very wet and the usage rate will be low.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of a good digital design. It is easy to read the streets/areas, and the green coloring to show grass areas is helpful. Also, the “Directions” button is a darker color than the other buttons because people use it the most often.

# data[].attributes.body
X1 Bad Physical Design → Benches outside Wilkinson building - Provide no shelter inaccessible during harsh weather conditions, making the material corrosive over time

# data[].attributes.body
Good:

Bad:

perhaps not so clear on where to swipe ID

# data[].attributes.body
Good:

Catchy colors: with a vibrant and fun color palette it definitely catches the audience's attention

Striking design: with a comical design it deems as playful and friendly to the audience -- hence may encourage them to attend the event

Bad:

Unclear where to find more information (mayhaps a qr code to their instagram or website or google maps would be nice)

Art makes it look like there is a theme or will have drinking involved but is somewhat unclear

# data[].attributes.body
I think the mouth is too small and narrow. Sometimes it can't open automatically. It’s inconvenient.

# data[].attributes.body
This menu is an example of a good physical design. It is clear to read - the bigger subtitles make the menu easy to navigate. Also, the different color fonts for the member pricing is convenient.

# data[].attributes.body
Good

Has the amenities contrasted against the green background

The typography is clear and easily seen in the white against the background

# data[].attributes.body

App

Good:

Netflix has good design because they have clear categories which allows the user to quickly identity their current shows and recommend shows. The design is simple and clear cut.

# data[].attributes.body
Good:

Timetable -> they have labelled whether labs are open or occupied

Bad:

The design is too chaotic and the "open" / "class occupied" colour code is not clear

# data[].attributes.body
App:

Bad: Redesign of apple photo album. Before there was a side nav bar, but now it involves the user having to scroll all the way down to the bottom to view albums. The navigation of the album’s is also confusing as different albums are no longer as visible.

# data[].attributes.body
Physical

Bad: Temporary dividers for the room. It makes the room seem cluttered and unfinished. Although it is good for temporary division of class, a sleeker appearance would have involved sliding dividers that had set separation placements.

# data[].attributes.body
Physical

Good: Diagonal windows to direct rain. Tall and wide window lets in natural sunlight which fills the room below. This allows for the room to appear more open, whilst still providing practical value.
