Pimping my brother’s site

April 23, 2006

Just a quick post, now that he has more content up there, to pimp my younger brother’s site.

About six months ago, my younger brother Jon, left his job of six years with Norwich Union with a big fat pay off. So, he’s spending it travelling the world over the next twelve months. He asked me to get a little site together for him, mainly so he can chuck some photos up there and blog about his travels so all his mates can keep up.

It’s built in Expression Engine of course over the course of a couple of days and, yes, it’s black and white. Why? Well, why not - he seems to like it!

So, if you fancy, go and have a look. If you say hi, tell him I sent you!

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.
