The Internet is constantly growing and evolving. This is an undeniable fact. The fact that the web is growing constantly pairs off with the fact that more and more people are using more and more kinds of devices to get online and use it in all sorts of different ways. Web design is one of the most fluid fields of design there are.

Trends are the building blocks of culture. They appear and influence (for a while, at least) the way things are done, the way things look, or sound. Like Scott Cook said, major changes come about once a trend solidifies itself in culture, when it becomes more than just a passing fad. In web design, especially, trends are tremendously important, so it’s vital for you, as a web designer, to be ahead of the curve.
