Design Police | Bring bad design to justice.

DesignPoliceThis is great -- Chris Bernard passed this on.  It's a "Visual Enforcement Kit" that you can use to tag bad design--ideally at work with wayward coworkers and not on public signage at stripmalls or something. My favorites are "Legible from space" (although that's rarely a problem on the web) and "Comic Sans is illegal". This is really focused on typography and print layout so it would be great to see a 'Visual Enforcement Kit" for rich application design with terms like "Stupid default", "No modal dialogs", "Don't waste the user's time".
