Returning from holiday is rubbish

Everything about returning from holiday is rubbish. From the packing to the checking in. No matter how quick your flight it always seems to take at least six hours travel time (in Europe anyway). Why is that?

Portugal was great however. I read 2 fantastic books whilst away. The first one I should have read a long time ago, it will certainly change the way I design and maybe even change the way I view the world. Don Norman’s The Design of Everyday things, is simply superb. Read it. The other book was Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything which stopped me being scared of Black Holes but made me scared of Neutrinos instead.

I'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.
