As a content creator, my entire job is turning complex information into clear, actionable content. After years of doing this, I’ve developed a serious occupational hazard: I can’t walk past a sign, a screen, or a website without instinctively judging how well (or poorly) the information is designed. It’s basically a reflex at this point.
Recently I ran into three perfect examples that drove the point home. Instead of diving into dry theory, I figured I’d share these everyday “gotchas” so we can all laugh at how easily we get tripped up — and remember to avoid the same mistakes in our own work.
