Design Do’s and Don’ts

I just came across a short series on Graphic Design Do’s and Don’ts for 2008 that is pretty entertaining, as well as having some real truths. Watch out for some of these overused techniques and elements. The series consists of:

1. Top 7 Most Overused Techniques and Elements in Graphic Design
2. Top 7 Most Overused Icons/Shapes in Graphic Design
3. Top 7 Fonts Used by Professionals in Graphic Design
4. Top 7 Most Overused Stock Images Used in Web Design
5. Top 7 Most Overused Concepts Used in Graphic & Web Design
6. Top 7 Most Overused Clichés in Logo Design

Not that I agree with everything in these lists, but I also found a few other interesting ones:
