My fascination with # StupidSigns
Why Bad Information Hurts Good Places I’ve spent the past years collecting stupid signs. Not for laughs (though some are hilarious). But because they say something serious about how we design, manage, and experience public environments. We’ve all seen them. The taped-up A4 printed in Word. The laminated instructions stuck to the lift. The ten signs screaming from one pole. The permanent 'temporary' note that’s been there since 2019. Stupid signs aren’t just bad communication.
