People making a default rainbow gradient layer, and then setting the layer to overlay on top of a space picture.

I'd like to see fewer magazines using twelve different typefaces from H&FJ in a single publication. Wired Magazine pulls it off. No one else does.

the increasing design trend of taking a pass on improving the design, flow and functionality of your site and instead spending all of your time and efforts improving your social media footprint and maximizing seo tactics.
really chief... you want to be page 1 on google fighting with the big dogs eh? Well, how does your site compare with the big dogs?

I can deal with small budgets and no time to turn things around. But it seems one has become inseparable from the other, and reduces the chances of something worthwhile being squeezed out of shrinking budgets. It seems that flying by the seat of one's pants is the new planning.
In 2011, I'd like to see less of at least one of these constraints. Clients, take your pick. Hint: more planning costs less money.

Not really specific to 2010, or even really a design trend, but nothing pisses me off more than copywriters or PR people capitalizing unnecessary words.

"Content is the new creative."
I'd like to see/hear less of this horse shit. What does it really mean, anyway? That there was a time in recent memory when "creative" (call it design, advertising, visual communication, or hot garbage – just please don't turn adjectives into nouns) was devoid of content? Nevermind the quality of content. But without any discernable message, visual communication is abstract art, junk, or something in between.
I think this is nothing but marketing bullshit that is fed by social media sheisters who (mistakenly) think design is pointless in the age of Facebook.
