I can't quite put my finger on it, but something was different design-wise. I know that Apple has had some serious influence on design this past decade (white/grey colors, curves, beveled edges, shiny), but what were the primary colors and design patterns of the 90s? Same thing with architecture. Look at any mall or school built in the 90s and you will see some serious differences between them and modern buildings or buildings from other eras. I notice a lot of glass, but what other differences are there?
