Largely, this conversation is couched in web and mobile, and not so much print. I personally love that a 'flat' approach to websites and apps is where we're at this year. It's a nice departure from the skeuomorphic garbage, or vintage trends, that designers were hooked on last year and the year before. Technology is really the reason for the trend. Work with any designer who is on top of their shit, and the number question you will hear them ask is, "How performant will this be?" iOS and Android now support some really dynamic 3D transitions and animations, which become really a bitch to pull off with the wild and crazy over-the-top designs people have been designing in recent years.
This return to basics is much needed in the industry, and I for one completely support a more performant, responsive, and simple-but-attractive web/mobile world.
