Design as a department is very often under resourced and I'd take a strong wager that the designers who actually work for Tropicana were dreading all the unnecessary work this rebrand was surely going to generate for them.
In North America I think most people do. Charity/Thrift shops are packed to the brim with used clothing not to mention organizations that very specifically bring used clothing items to those in need.
I believe most people do not keep all their clothing items until they are entirely worn out. Changes in taste, body changes, getting rid of unused items, moving to a location with a different climate etc.
In most cases people are donating the clothes not reselling them. You put it in a bag and drop it off.
I can't think of a more challenging "client" to take on than a decentralized group of engineers. Classic ways to build your design portfolio usually centre around small businesses, community groups, events and non-profits because they have clear needs that are easily served by design.
Another place where designers play is with open source/license fonts, icons, design systems etc. which makes sense because they are designing things for their peers.
Really enjoying the updates so far. The dark mode inverting the actual PDF to dark is a nice touch for reading (and I can toggle it off for visualization heavy portions).
In the article most of the annoyances boil down to crappy html markup and unclear navigation. These are things that are easy to fix without any special accessibility knowledge and go a long way in improving usability for everyone.
