Message

Perhaps you're asking, “Why Transfuture? ”

The name Transfuture was inspired by the following passage while reading the classic book by historian Daniel Boorstin titled “The Image” (Random House, Inc., 1961):

“Is there any advance in transportation... that has not erased the differences between transportation and communication? Every day seeing there and hearing there takes the place of being there”.

When Daniel Boorstin wrote the above statement, he had in mind jet travel and “around-the-clock” news. With the advent of the Internet, his observations took on even stronger meaning. And I think this actually underlines the difference in value between information and meaningful information. Whether information is transported via a high-speed rail or high-speed Internet, the message is lost if it is not delivered with meaning and clarity; it is deleted before it is even processed (like so much spam).

One of technology's foremost goals has always been to improve the means by which people communicate. We rely on heavy doses of information to get us through the day, while at the same time we are constantly challenged to screen out the tremendous excess of meaningless information, or “noise”, that technology delivers. We rely on technology to send, transmit, and receive the message; but technology cannot always be relied upon to create meaning.

As designers, it is our goal to create, transport, and deliver your message clearly and meaningfully to the people you need to communicate with. We specialize in providing each client with a unique and personal approach to Web design that communicates their identity in ways that strengthens both their online and offline presence. And by embracing the ever burgeoning array of new technologies, platforms and possibilities, we provide our clients with a progressive approach to design that serves their interests long after launch.
