Bad/Boring Graphics

Here, again in no particular order, are the graphics I don't like.

 This one makes me so mad. It's the variant cover for an issue of the Spiderwoman comic. The pose and the anatomy are pornographic and the proportions are impossible for an actual human. The problems of women in comics and in the geek community in general are way too numerous to go into here, but this is one of the more egregious examples. The line drawing on the right are a female artist's attempt to fix the anatomy and proportions, and show how far off the original is.

 This one is just boring. It doesn't grab the eye and the font is way too small to read without squinting. I love this musical and this poster does not make me want to buy a ticket.

To switch things up a little, instead of boring this is way too busy. There are too many different fonts, the colors are too dark, and I have no idea where to look.


Here is a bulletin board from my school. I like what they were trying to do, but no matter what they say, those symbols are used to replace curse words. My students walk past this on the way to the cafeteria and it makes them snicker every day.

This one is both boring and confusing. I think the green shape is a tooth, but then what is that dot above it supposed to be?
