Can't Unsee: Select the design that is most correct (opens in new tab)

That's a bit biased. "Easy 2/18" insists that "Invite friends..." is the default button and should be blue, while "Skip" button should be white which makes look like it's not a button at all, so a user does not realize that he can skip the useless spamming "Invite" step. I think it's a bad design.

There are some of the "broken" designs (like corner radius or capitalization) that amount to design choices and not necessarily constitute a good or bad design by themselves. Also, most of the examples seem to be taken from Skype. And why should we log in at the end, what do I get if I login?

Ive done all 3 series. To me, some of them are quite blatant, especially in the easy series. Some of them are irrelevant to me, especially in hard. In a few cases, I actually prefer the bad design.

My main takeaway is that design has quickly diminishing returns. Which is probably not what the authors wanted.

I've been doing UI/UX for a long time. I scored about 6700.

Some of the stuff is objectively bad, but once you get into the hard territory... does it really matter if your users or even other designers can't perceive it after a couple of seconds?

I'm all for consistency in design, but considering how those extreme levels of UI _nitpickingness_ don't really affect the UX, I'd say this falls into overdesign.

UX is much more important than UI.

This is kind of neat. Thoughts:

I can only toggle between them in-place after I've made a selection. It would be nice to be able to be able to compare them like this before I choose.

It also wasn't clear to me if by "correct" I was supposed to pick the one that I found most familiar, or the one I thought was better. Then eventually I figured out that this was a game, and there was a predetermined "right" and "wrong" answer for all of these.

What would be really cool is a service where people making a design could upload two possible samples, and you could have 100 users quickly select which one they thought was better. No comments, no analysis, no thinking. Just A or B, two possible views of the same data, and you click which you think is right.

I might be mistaken about this, but a lot of the ones where it says that the letter kerning is wrong, looks to me like it’s the letter spacing that is wrong.

Kerning being a specific adjustment between two letters and letter spacing being the general distance between the letters.

Nevertheless a fun little quiz, but I think it needs some improvement to not be so full of essentially arbitrary design decisions. Also, to not promote dark patterns.

Fun, but: I can't unsee that it says "Press and hold COMPARE or SHIFT to compare, ENTER to continue.", but while there is a "Compare"-button, there is no "Enter" button, only a "Next" (yes, I know the RETURN-key works, but still)

X "Inconsistent labels"

I scored 7030 and had PTSD flashbacks to the time I worked with a 40-year veteran graphic designer. You wouldn't want to run designs by that person on a Monday, ever. Overall though I thought it was a neat little game. Thanks for posting it.

This is fun but broken, on mobile safari it’s mixing up the images and giving me the same pair from the previous question.

Can one improve at this kind of skill? This is a serious question.
