It has been brought to the attention of the Province of Ontario and to the design research board that an outbreak of bad design has emerged, and is Astronomical in Numbers. We are fully aware of the consequential negative impact this will have on the MANY professionals who practice good design. It is imperative that you evacuate to our safe house in order to quarantine yourself from the outbreak, and keep your skills, ideas and creativity sharp and fresh.

There will be several designers on hand that will be administering their antidotes to avoid any further infection. As a consequence of the severity of the Bad Design Outbreak, it takes several doses of the antidote to properly,and permanently cure the infected, so a thorough, and extended stay is highly recommended.

Several brave designers have battled the infection, and managed to protect themselves inside a safe house, immune to the outbreak. These Designers will be administering the antidote:

• Ashley Allison
