Written By David Ostroff

Not every trend deserves attention.

  1. AI-first branding without strategy

  2. Websites built for screenshots

  3. Minimalism that hides meaning

  4. Accessibility treated as optional

  5. Trend-driven typography

  6. Endless carousels

  7. Decorative animation

  8. Metrics without context

  9. Premature design systems

  10. Hustle culture disguised as innovation

Many respected voices in design trend analysis caution against confusing novelty with value.
