What happened to the design?

April 05, 2006

Like Jon, I’m a little late with this one.

Today is CSS Naked Day, a very cool idea by Dustin Diaz, whereby you remove your CSS to show the lovely semantic XHTML markup beneath.

A picture of Mark BoultonI'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

If you're after simple, clean and effective web design; let me know.
