Below, you'll find a collection of satirical designs I've put together. I'm not suggesting these features should be rolled out, I'm just doing this to add a bit of personality to my portfolio and to have some fun.

If you like what you see, want to offer feedback or have a suggestion for a satirical design, please get in touch.

#6 – Duolingo

Match the spooky words 🎃

I love Duolingo and the different types of questions they ask me. They've got a real opportunity though to push the boat out and add some fun, seasonal questions. Halloween, Christmas, Easter… Some fun opportunities!

#5 – Amazon

Pop-up asks you if you really need this item

When was the last time you bought something that you didn't really need?

What if an ethical spending feature triggers when you're spending far more than your normal amount? This could be beneficial in helping consumers to control their spending habits, whilst giving the user the power to dismiss the safeguard if they wished.

Hmm. Are you sure you want to buy this?

You've already spent over £200 this month on Taylor Swift memorabilia. Do you really need this "Taylor Swift 2023 Limited Edition Headband?"

#4 – Google Meet

Vote to end meeting early

This one is in a similar theme to #3 except from another perspective.

If your colleague is droning on and you'd like to bring the call to an abrupt close, perhaps Google Meet could allow you to vote on whether to continue or abandon the call. Tanner's feelings might be hurt if the meeting ends early, he won't know who voted what 🤷

#3 – Google Meet

Pop-up reminds you to let others talk

We've all been in meetings where someone just won't stop talking.

Well, with this feature, that would become a thing of the past. If you're hogging the microphone, this prompt will remind you to give others the chance to speak.

#2 – Slack

Slackbot plays cupid with office singletons

What if Slackbot tracked which of your co-workers you messaged the most? If its AI guessed that you're single, maybe it might connect the dots and nudge you to ask that colleague out on a date! HR would be busy 😅
