That sweater transcends “ugly design” and becomes… something else entirely, like outsider art.
Edit: Or non-outsider art. Looking at the site, it seems a lot of these are art projects, not design. So of course, as design, they’re “ugly,” because they’re not being made to be pleasant or easy designs. Which feels a bit like cheating for the account - there’s plenty of inexplicably ugly design out there without bringing non-design into it.

Thankfully there are a bunch of third-party Instagram viewers that still work. (Sadly none of the ones for Twitter still seem to exist, though.) E.g. https://www.picuki.com/profile/uglydesign (Though you probably want to make sure your ad blocker is on.)

I don’t have an ig acc’t, my adblocker inexplicably prevents my seeing half the videos on tumblr, and yet these links work for me.
It’s a head-scratcher.

You could call this an ugly bit of web design, which is frustratingly meta.
Yes. Something was definitely outside.

Thank you for that, had no idea that was even an option. But also, ouch, my sanity! I never imagined there were so many terrible things people could do to their fingernails.
