Shame on me …

For not writing anything for a month. shockingly bad. But in my defense i’ve had a lot going on. I’ve been on holiday to Switzerland, snowboarding, and broke my finger on the second day which was rubbish. So, now i’m strapped up with visits every couple of weeks to fracture clinic. On top of that i’ve had a stinker of a cold. Other than that, what’s happening?

Well, work wise things are ticking along with several big launches coming up as well as an increasing usability / IA work load. On top of that i’m heavily involved in the content management workflow. BUT, the cool thing is, i’m off to SXSW in March for 7 days in the US of A. Should be really good. Some big names are there, so hopefully i’ll be hobnobbing with the likes of Zeldman and Doug Bowman.

I’ll be hopefully getting round to getting the homepage of this site built as well as the inclusion of the portfolio (with a little help from a great article by hicks design) I still need to do the contact forms and stuff as well as getting the photo gallery online too. Should be easy enough, but with organising a wedding as well, things are a little bonkers at the moment.

Talking of Snooch, the knocked back blue look is beginning to bug me slightly so expect an introduction of some lovely colour throughout the coming months in addition to some tweaks to the stylesheets.

Nice to see you’re back Mark and fighting albeit one slightly damaged finger. Had a look at the Hicks design and I’m afraid to say it’s ropey as mate, have a look at it on a Mac running OS 9 *tuts ...

It’d be nice to catch up soon, whether it be Cowbridge or Kairdiff so when you can fit me in your hectic schedule feel free to contact me.

By the way enjoy SXSW looks extremely nice ... boy oh boy do soem people get more holidays than they should :)

Cheers Graham,

I’m nearly back up to full strength. Mmmm OS9, dodgy operating system running dodgy browsers ;-)

I’m just testing this site on the new Firefox browser by Mozilla and strange things are happening to my tabs - they’re not there! mmm more work is needed me thinks…

Holidays? It’s all business mate ;-) I’ll bring you back a ten gallon hat. Can’t make Saturday but say hello to whoever’s out.

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.
