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. |

what if it's a few lyrics being used on a layout?
does that make it tacky and wannabe-profound-sounding. my nasty list 1. a beautifully blended image...then a box for content underneath 2. same old banner-on-top-content-on-bottom composition. there's other ways to arrange things. 3. overusing anything 4. horrible use of fonts/TOO MANY different fonts 5. TOO MANY BOXES of the same size 6. ugly color palette and the last is just a matter of personal taste... 7. jrock layouts that all look the same and look like shit |
