(my brothers turning 20, im his younger sister, 18). oh and this isnt the only present.
Answers:
Hmm well have been to his dorm/house/apartment? what kind of stuff does he seem to have a lot of and take interest in maybe you could have a reversable pillow case with two different things if he doesnt like one maybe his favorite type of car or his school colors with his name.
keep it simple, if not just plain
Well it should match the sheets.
But a basic plaid design is totally fine.
There are some cool designs that you can stitch on to the case using sublime stitching patterns

You can use freezer paper to cut out a stencil and then iron the freezer paper to the case then do the ink paint for the design and then peel off the freezer paper when the paint or ink has dried. http://craftster.org/blog/?p=94...
You can have a look at http://www.craftster.com for ideas in their forums (careful that place is sooooo addicting!) You can check out their embroidery, misc, or stenciling/screen printing boards... some good inspiration and can get help there too.

Good luck
do 2 opposite corners in a 2nd color
look at stuff like nautica sheets or tommy hilfiger for inspiration
how about making pillows out of his favorite vintage tshirts? I do it all the time and people love them! Just dig some old tshirts out of his closet that he does not wear any longer!
