<\/a>This is great — Chris Bernard<\/a> passed this on.\u00a0 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”.<\/p>\n
