An unorganized list of design elements I like & dislike, because I’m participating in more design exchanges and should probably list this stuff!
My taste is all over the place, so... make of all this as you will:
- Vaporwave & Lo-Fi - especially road trip & sunsets/palm trees & all; grainy VHS quality anime.
- Sailor Moon circa 1990s.
- Cottagecore- particularly rustic, summery vibes, soft yellows, creams, brown, green, lots of plants; gingham patterns.
- Victorian Picnic? Idk man very summery, light, lots of lace and frills vibes. Strawberries, cut fruit, etc.
- But also spring stuff. And autumn/Halloween. And winter/Christmas.
- And valentine’s.
- Accessories in general.
- Space - doubly so combined with the vaporwave vibes.
- Sanrio- Little Twin Stars, My Melody & Cinnamoroll the most.
- Lisa Frank. I will go absolutely feral for Lisa Frank vibes ok.
- Dark royalty/divinity. Yes it’s similar to dark academia but like, fancier and with twisted holy vibes.
- The Woods Are Weird; or, Twin Peaks. West coast rainforest from about October - December. Deer, wolves, owls, crows.
- Antlers. A n t l e r s.
- Crystals/delicate high fantasy; heraldic unicorns. Magic, sparkles, all that stuff.
- I don’t know how to explain this one aside from ‘Alucard and Integra circa Hellsing Ultimate’.
- Metallic elements are always rad, same with non-flesh body makeup.
- Plushie vibes
- Dragonflies, moths, butterflies.
- Very abridged list of media I'm into- generally I'll always dig references to/themes inspired by these!
- A Song of Ice and Fire,Wings of Fire, Wayward Children, Mass Effect, Cube Escape/Rusty Lake, Metroid, Castlevania/Bloodstained, Spyro, Final Fantasy (X-2 & XII in particular), Half Life 2/Portal, Pokemon (Gen 5 best gen), Fairy Tail, FMA:B, One Piece, Hellsing Ultimate, Dragon Ball.

Things I dislike/am picky enough about its best to avoid:
- Scenecore/neon - I do like it, but in very case by case basis.
- Insectoid elements except those mentioned above.
- Highly saturated colors- red & orange in particular, it can be very hard on my eyes.
- Complex body patterns- more because I have trouble replicating them though, so it’s not a hard no.
- Will add to this as needed??
