Bad Design Club is an event poster themed around anti-perfectionism. I use a visual language of broken grids, hand-drawn scribble lines, and unruly layered textures, turning “failed ideas,” misalignments, and unpolished marks into the main subject. An oversized typographic title dominates the composition, while key details are set in bold orange tags—pinning clear coordinates into the chaos. The poster treats uncertainty, deviation, and trial-and-error as creative energy: instead of polishing everything into perfection, it invites viewers to bring their mistakes and treat them as a new beginning.
