Color: The color palettes are limited and carefully chosen, often featuring combinations of purples, yellows, creams, and occasional accents of other colors. The colors are typically flat and unshaded, contributing to the graphic and repetitive nature of the patterns. The color choices often evoke a sense of nostalgia or a playful, retro feel.
Lighting: The lighting is virtually non-existent, with the style relying on flat colors and shapes to define forms within the pattern. This absence of traditional lighting reinforces the two-dimensional, graphic quality of the illustrations.
Design Technique: The styles employ simplified shapes, clean lines, and a focus on creating repeating patterns. The subjects are often everyday objects (like cakes or flowers), stylized figures, or abstract shapes, arranged in a symmetrical and orderly manner. There's often a sense of whimsy or playfulness in the choice of subjects and the way they are depicted. The styles convey a sense of playful charm, orderliness, nostalgic almost wallpaper-like sensibility, repeating patterns, simplified shapes, and a limited, carefully chosen color palette.
