Designs are temporary

Graphic design goes through so many fads, it's a total fashion victim. What was hot a year ago isn't quite so hot today. When you're designing, you're designing for a moment in time. It's a product, or tool, for a very definite period. When it's life has expired it fades into the background.

It's so important to stay fresh and inspired, especially in web design as it's so technology driven. It's constantly evolving. What worked really well yesterday may hinder today. One example – the use of Flash.

The ultimate goal for design is that it is used for God's purposes. You're both providing an act of service for your clients, which should be done to the best of your abilities, and you're crafting a tool for communication. A website, if done well, can preach to the world.

Designs are temporary but God's kingdom is eternal. If the temporary can build the eternal, then our work is very, very good.
