What kind of things irritate you that people use in their designs? Here are some of mine:

1. Borders thicker than 1px
2. Right-aligned layouts
3. That font with the wings that I can't remember the name of
4. Those "celebutantes" and Disney folk

My list would probably go all the way to one hundred, but I thought I'd spare you.

That's so overused. I thought it was kinda cute the first time I saw it, but now every site on myspace uses that effect on their defaults.

I know right, its getting old. I hate when people on here ask in the graphic help forum how to do those type of effects. I just would like to tell them to just don't worry about and find something else to do for their designs. I tell them how to do it anyway because if I don't someone will.
