The World’s Most Overrated Graphic Design

Helvetica, hand-lettering, infographics, and more: which of these graphic designs gets way too much credit?

 

If Co.Design readers’ eight picks for the world’s most overrated graphic design were compiled into one, you’d have a letter-pressed, tonal, minimalist infographic poster in Helvetica about Nike’s new artisanal branding campaign, with some hand-lettered details thrown in. Fortunately, these eight candidates haven’t yet been hybridized. They’re competing in the graphic design category for our upcoming March Madness bracket, in which you can vote for your (least) favorite.

We’ve already posted picks for product design and interface design, and you can check back later this week for picks in architecture, before voting in the bracket to name the single most overrated design in all the land.
