Clever Design Ideas That People Have Shared In This Online Group (35 Pics)

Generally, great design is invisible to people. But that’s not surprising. Unlike art, which aims to grab attention and provoke people’s imaginations, design is primarily about serving a function and solving problems. However, if you do this perfectly, it’s likely that no one will notice. Such as saying goes “If you do things right, people won’t know you’ve done anything at all.” But if you do it wrong, you will most likely get blamed and laughed at. Hence, the wider lesson for designers is clear: making something simpler is usually the path to making it better… even if that might mean sacrificing some accuracy along the way.

To demonstrate this, there’s a subreddit that features high-quality images of interesting designs. Its community is significantly dedicated to gathering clever designs of all kinds, graphic design, architecture, furniture, or product design. And although we already covered it once, there are so many new images, we need to do a follow-up.

To sum up, we’ve compiled a list of some of the designs we liked the most. Scroll down in order to check them out, and let us know in the comments if you agree with us. Also, if we have missed out on your favorite design idea, put in a comment!
