As a huge fan of skeuomorphism, Aero Glass and the Y2K/Frutiger Aero aesthetics, I absolutely love seeing those coming back. I'm seeing it returning to tech aesthetics, I'm seeing it in some commercial artwork. More blur, more glossy designs, an increase in color and prismatic color schemes, with diminishing minimalistic flat design garbage. I hope the trend continues.
Even so, if I could give one bit of advice to designers who haven't caught on to the shift or still use the flat design crap...
