April 24, 2006

After an uneventful overnight flight from Perth, Emma and I arrived bright and early at Cairns airport. There’s nothing to do in most airports, but Cairns is the exception. There is absolutely nothing to do, especially at 4.30am. Even sleeping was out of the question due to the constant beeping of the xray machine as hordes of tourists forgot to remove their belts.

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.
