*Texture backgrounds! (Wood, scratched metal, anything that gives a rough look)
*Centred layouts
*Rich, earthy colours against dark grey background
*Broken borders (lets you have "freer" designs without restrictive borders)
*White space (don't fill the white space around your layout/design/etc., with more stuff)
*Simplicity
*Bigger font size for main ideas/words/topics
*Round buttons
*Complex, free style patterns using geometric/organic shapes such as swirls, drops, paisley, etc.
*Grey tones
*1-2-3 boxes for the page's content (again, simplicity!)
*Cartoon-y vector characters
Sounds good to me!
