True nick 'there is a time and place for everything'.
As far as I know, good design is invisible but it fits the intented purpose of the piece.
A flyer is supposed to attract attention and make you go clubbing so it needs that eye catching element but instructions to fit snow chains on a car tyre need to be easy to read and very legible under different circumstances, to coin Erik Spiekermann.
Each needs a different approach. Bad design would be trying to force a style on something that doesn't need it.
