I haven't taught classes in awhile (THANK YOU COVID-19!!) (not) but when I have, new students tend to go with the colors, shapes, etc. THEY like, not what's 'in style'. I don't even know what's really 'on-trend' right now, but maybe greater access to the internet, social media, etc., has allowed for more diversity in design? Hope so!

Love the girl who dared to 'be annoying'! Although it might eventually annoy HER? :-D
