"I am a 24 year old London based creative. I run ISO & Isomorph Records which you can read about here. I have a fascination with three sided shapes, illegible typography, and freeform lettering."For some reason this annoys me greatly.

I'm actually really tired of rotating Javascript banner home pages. How about some fuckin targeted messaging for once, instead of this "let's appeal to everyone" bullshit.

I personally dislike the looks of rolled-up trouser sleeves, paninaro style. Utterly disgusting Hoxton roundabout fashion trend.
I am also overly annoyed with integration.
I DO NOT want my corkscrew to engage with my toothbrush or other random shit to tell everybody in FB that I am taking a dump while listening THAT song on my i-turd. If the world is into exhibitionism, good for the world... but not everything is shareable or interesting.Tittle abuse / role misinterpretation.
I HATE that now every fucking illustrator/artist believes he/she can do editorial/design work. Thank you very fucking much.
Also designers are not automatically entitled to call themselves art directors if they direct nothing. And lastly, allow me to say that not every single developer in the world can be a project manager (though they are usually good making bloody Gantt charts).If people would stick to what they are good at, our lives would be easier.
Lastly, my all times baddy: Shit copy everywhere.
we all agree that people do not read, but I guess people got used to read meaningless stuff. Best example: the client who wants to add a page to see the title somewhere on the navigation but actually has no fucking idea what to put in there.2011 please bring us new shit to complain about.

That tiresome Olly Moss shit where you take a popular TV show or film or game whatever and then do a wankey minimalist poster about it then everyone collectively jizzes all over it and claims it's actually clever when really it's just pandering lowest common denominator bullshit that would fail as an actual movie poster.
"Creatives" who's entire job is just ripping shit off YouTube
Social Media Experts and marketing. Laughable bullshit from chancers who don't know the first thing about the internet.
Flash developers whining because they are left out of the App Store party when they were hoping to just shit out slow clunky crap in their downtime and make $$$
Working with a PR company between you and the client, with said PR company actually trying to influence design decisions... usually in a completely retarded way that the client isn't going to like when we finally get to show them.
Mozilla Firefox, fuck that stupid program.
- PR = either hell, or smart people... I once worked with an AD he called PR Pubic Cystsvaxorcist
