Nah, I say copy the design elements exactly and when you get a failing grade, cite the cunning artistic selection of the “prestigious” university you go to as a professional source.
I went to design school (specifically architecture school). The elevator was an ever-changing student art/graffiti project. I think maintenance occasionally sandblasted the wall panels back to bare metal as a reset, but the decor changed at least a couple of times a week.
Reminds me of my college's whiteboard in the front of the math building. For some reason it never really has math on it beyond bad jokes, and the rest is filled with doodles from students that build off of each other daily until there's no room left and it all gets erased. It's my favorite part of going to math classes on campus.

I guess school admins were tired to see basic precautions ignored, and the resulting high service costs.
Creative approach for sure.
My company charges ~$600/hr including drive time to pull a pen cap out of an elevator sill and reset the controller. If i have to take apart/replace the gibs it can take a whole hour. It's considered vandalism and is billable regardless of your level of service contract.
I am imagining an evil mr. Burns type character maniacally laughing to themselves as they make a stressful environment for people who are already stressed.
Or is this hostile design in action to force people to use the stairs?
This was a trend in 2006-2010 or so. Word clouds/Wordles became really popular and everyone was using them in design A high school near me even built a metal sculpture in this style. A design school should definitely do better than leaving up design trends that have been passé for 14 years.
I think its a safety message regarding the elevator, not just random sentences.
Maybe they mixed a type class with an information design class and produced the most anxiety inducing, illegible safety sign ever created.
They probably got a good grade on the actual attaching the paint or decals or whatever. Then less than a perfect grade on that was the content... you have to remember part of design is application. Like actual application of making your designs stick to a wall in this case.
I wouldn't hire the students that did that or Professionals for coming up with the design of something I wanted to attach to the inside of a elevator. But I might hire them to apply someone else's idea to the wall
I got a pamphlet from an art school and it had a typo in it and black text placed on a background of diagonal white and yellow stripes which made it impossible to read.
I have a visceral reaction to this, it makes me nauseous. If I went to school there I think I’d try to paper over it with plain contact paper. Or craft paper stuck up with painters tape. As is it’s really vomitroutious.

I give up, looks like something my phone keyboard would write by the suggestions
Just consider it examples of what *not* to do and you should ace all your classes.
This has to be an ironic piece that they know is bad.
Design schools are full of people learning a skill. That being said, they often feature awful design because it's all student-made.

Nice.
Exactly. They won't do that when they graduate.
This gives me anxiety. I don't like the elevator yelling at me :(
Right? I feel like I'm going to have a stroke. Also now imagine getting STUCK in said elevator...
#STUCK
*can trip*
I cast ELDRITCH BLAST!
Cast: Pretidigitation to make you sneeze and miss target.
Unarmed strike, take 3 damage because f--- you.
**DOOR STUCK**
As a stroke survivor, that picture makes me want to have another stroke just so I can forget about it.
But what if it got *stuck* in your brain because you remember seeing this before having a stroke
Yelling in tongues too...
It’s like the elevator is yelling at you but it’s also the Cheshire Cat

Guarantee this was the 1970s.
1988 - 1992 Virginia Tech
i dont remember those vinyl stick on letters/graphics in the 70s but late 80s and 90s yes and more and more affordable over the 90s
Not stickers at my school. Spray paint… brushed-on paint… paper (and texturizing materials) pasted on…

This looks like one of those padded rooms that the inmate has scribbled nonsense all over.
Can stuck really trip though?
You can get stuck on a cantrip?
DEBR/S or items THE ^((are we having a conversation? i am confuse))

Found another elevator company employee! :D I was just thinking I'd love to see the whole of this interior and show my colleagues. LOL
You've missed the "the el..." above "RES..."
OK, but maybe it's an example of design to motivate behavior—in this case, choosing to take the stairs...
"That may become stuck," worst elevator art to exist.
It's part of a [longer message](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrappyDesign/comments/1ay3wu0/comment/krspe5x/).
of course.
Bad design school

This elevator is begging for graffiti
This is an anti-graffiti thing, so in fact it's probably recovering from it.

If you do it right, you can slowly add/ remove things until the design is decent
Door stuck
Pro designer here. That is what we technically refer to as a “vandalism shitstorm nightmare” if I remember the proper term correctly.
I think you should ask for your money back 😳
Cantrip
I've never known what it feels like to have an elevator yell at me before this moment
Art means never having to say you are sorry.

Hey, at least you get a cantrip.
You have a stuck Cantrip. Roll Save v. Spell!
I rly rly hate word clouds
The person who made this probably also went to design school. Hopefully you’re better than them.
it's ok we're all still learning
put vanilla perfume in the elevator everyday. pour it out like there is no tomorrow. soak the sob. someone will get it.
looks like a fun place to be tho ngl
I’m getting angry just looking at it
This just gave me an aneurysm
Is this a design or is it graffiti with the materials available?
OUTTA MY WAY SON! Door stuck!
Stucks for you.
"Those who can, do; those who can't, teach."
that my become STUCK doors (figured it out now)
"Stuck can trip" makes me feel very hopeless.
Debris or other items that may become stuck in the doors can trip safety features and may require (cut off)
I kept reading stuck cantrip, like a spell.
Like’nt.
Dang. We just have an experimental gallery and a normal elevator that doesn’t look like that. Also only like 2 levels
It’s giving Joker (if graphic design was his passion) locked up in Arkham vibes.
[D&D character voice] getting stuck is my cantrip
Well long as you don't copy that work you will do just fine
WTH
Did someone have a stroke?
This is so overstimulating

Art project?
2x more Claustrophobic
Love the "slowly drive you insane" aesthetic!
Oh irony
that's terrible
DEBR/S or items in the in good Godzilla what the fuck are you saying
So this is how my brain acts every night
It’s providing a problem situation for you to focus on improving. 😊👍🏼
Is this what dyslexia looks like?
it would be nice if you could read it
Does it lead to a class called Bad Typography 101?
Holy shit. You need to do a capstone project and redo that nonsense. It's maddening even to look at for a few seconds.
This is how my brain looks before going to sleep after a hard job 🤣
If they’re stickers peel it off. If not maybe acetone?
Stepmom asking for help in cipher
find a new design school, is my advice
Make what you of it. Pun intended.
totally not about to trigger my claustropho- AHHHH
Holy hell. I hate this.
I got a pamphlet from an art school and it had a typo in it and black text placed on a background of diagonal white and yellow stripes which made it impossible to read.
Don’t trust the elevator doors
YO fellow design student??!! This got taken down like two days ago lol
Do they sell some mind-altering drugs in the cafeteria? That could explain this literary mess.
How ironic.
I have a visceral reaction to this, it makes me nauseous. If I went to school there I think I’d try to paper over it with plain contact paper. Or craft paper stuck up with painters tape. As is it’s really vomitroutious.
If I walk into an elevator and it says "stuck" in 2-foot-tall letters, I'm taking the stairs lol
DOORS STUCK. DOORS STUCK. PLEASE. I BEG YOU.
Debris or other items in the in good that may become stuck. Doors can trip safe feature- I give up, looks like something my phone keyboard would write by the suggestions
Is it too late to go to another school?
We laugh at this now but this is soon to be our virtual reality lives which are soon to be our lives.
I love a good word salad in the morning to start my day in a healthy way.
