another design fad is the design industry being hypocritical of things like this. so maybe add this thread and others like it to your design wank.

I'm making a poster for an assignment which is basically a pisstake of a few design fads which popped up out of nowhere and suddenly appeared on EVERYWHERE. The two biggest things that come to mind in recent times are those effing drips (usually falling from circles), which also branched off to graffiti (or the other way around) and the lines/arrows which randomly run across images and change direction once or twice for no real reason. Sure they look cool but fuck... they are as far-reaching and infectious as the Pokémon fad. Gotta cach 'em all!
Anyway, can anyone remind me of any other fads (images would be a great help as I've only been paying attention to the industry to a couple of years). Any ideas for the poster itself would be helpful too. There are some criteria to meet but at the moment I'm basing it on an event showcasing the works of some fictional fad-embracing digital artists. The even is to be called 'DesignWank'.
Cheers.
