?It may sound a bit peculiar but some people do not like the modern, futuristic approach to designs, they rather get nostalgic and getmore attracted to past, which also reflects in their choice in designs. This trend also got more triggered during the Covid-19 Pandemic period, when the regular outdoor life activities were halted and people had a chance to settle down a bit, even finding some escape from the realities around.

This approach meant a slower tone, settled fonts, classical looking imagery, soft toning and pastel color palettes. These design trends are more focused on relatable experiences of the designers.
