If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing.

The answer to the question what will happen with us in the coming ten years, is something we’d all like to hear. But not many succeed in bringing the right answer. Unless loads of research and a great and motivated team is behind the project, the future trends won’t be that accurate and acceptable. Making predictions is not a game, as they would say.

If I had known, I would have joined!
