Repeatable Background Images
Tiled background images may have gone out of style for a few years, but those were the ugly ones. Oh, and those are still out of style. Now they're back, and I'm not just talking stripes. Why are they okay now? There's a new rule that somehow designers from 1996 missed. Don't put text over a printed background. Text on whole colors, or subtle gradients, but not patterns.
