    I always thought bad design would be something that did not only fail to accomplish the task at hand, but also possibly make matters worse. Say, a television commercial accidentally giving a totally wrong brand impression when misintepreted. I guess functionality really isn't the same thing, but it could be one very important ingredience of relevance. Sure a piece of art or other body of work may be captivating, but it may still also be totally non-functional as far as the original goals were concerned.

    what else makes something relevant?
