Week 7 Bad interface design

Have you ever been working on a task or viewing a page when suddenly the session expires? The use of jargon such as 'session' and 'expire' are pointless and often offers nothing to the user. Could the design be more interesting?

Another interesting example is that of overlay pages on web browsers where you have to go to a screen when all you want is to go to the information straight away. Like sites that force people to join or go to a main menu before they try something instead of starting a game or app. Most of the time the design of the ‘join’ site is boring and unattractive to the user.

This website shows many great examples of bad user interface designs. Take a look and see what you think! http://www.buigallery.com/
