(Unofficial) UI Design Competition to Prevent Another Hawaii False Alarm
Some of the entries are really terrible. You can definitely do better
In the wake of Hawaii's false missile alert brouhaha, an apparently unofficial design competition has sprung up inviting designers to re-imagine the UI. You're not allowed to change the copy, just the elements on the page.
I've been looking over the 146 entries received so far, and folks--some of these are great, but a lot are just terrible. Needlessly busy, overdesigned and/or scattershot. I don't want to call anyone out by name, so I'll post some entries without attribution and let you decide which is which.

In my opinion, these are incomplete. Real alarms and tests shouldn't even be clickable on the same page, or at least should remain hidden. And instead of a single click, the user should have to mouse over a TEST or REAL to reveal a menu or some slide-out feature and them mouse over to the item he or she wants to click.
