Good Vs. Bad UX Design (Don Norman's Example):

[careerfoundry]

What examples of bad UX design can you share? What other real-world examples, like the doors featured, can you think of? Let us know in the comments!

[GinoNavarro]

I actually get anxiety when opening doors in public now haha

[Earth_Being]

Bro defended every confused person in push & pull situation ❤

[Julian-qweb]

This is so true! Another one is door handles that open when you pull them up.

[jandipopo_art]

Coming from architecture and getting into UX design seems really fun, not only that i have the idea of how to know if a house is badly designed, now im learning if an app or website is badly designed

[daikaji]

Pro tip: look for the hinges! You can usually see non-obvious hinges when looking at the top of the door. If you see hinges, pull the door. Otherwise, push.

I have finished reading this book, actually it's a MUST read book for UX designers.

[persepolis]

Well as an Architect, per code, if you are exiting a building, the door should always push out.

[brianmcconnell]

Why is it they only ever have one door that opens when there’s two doors.

[theesecretplace]

Good UX design had me watch this short video for 20 minutes wondering why they kept using the same example 😂😂😂

[theaicorgi]

Exactly how I feel tryna open Barnes and nobles doors 🤧

[SweetArt]

wait a minute, the outside handles are just a waste of resources? 🙁

[abbynormal]

Rescue inhalers that don't have counters for doses remaining is one of the dumbest ideas ever, and akin to Russian roulette. When you're in the midst of an asthma attack, it's no time for guessing if your rescue inhaler has enough puffs left to get you out of trouble! 🤷🤦😱😷☠️

[aditya.sri]

So whats the correct door design then?

[JamesTaylor]

Why would he use his own name for bad examples of his concept?

[cherubinth]

The problem doesn't sit in front of the computer. This is just an excuse from lazy developers.
