I think that the hospital for children site was designed by naughty children to blind you when you look at that site. hehehehe
there're two kinds of bad designs. one is called 'ugly' designs. these ones are just plain ugly, but they're not the worse of the two. the other is called 'horrendously dysfunctional' designs. these are the ones you see in the first post. two examples of 'ugly' designs? google and craiglist.
For example me,i am a newbie,and i do not know how to design well,you know if i am going to design my site,that is just for fun.
