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.

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

Say hello to the guys and gals for me. And in case they don’t remember who I am, here’s a reminder

How many countries are you planning on visiting this year Mark?
My oh my you’re living the international jet set life at the moment, Eamonn Holmes would be envious :)

Graham: There’s a couple more on the list; China (Hong Kong) and Portugal again. That’ll be it for this year!

Miles: Me to. I can’t wait to visit Perth. Hopefully I’ll be over the worse of the jetlag by Tuesday as well!
Damien: ‘fraid not :(. I’d love to though. We passed through Brisbane about eight years ago when we were travelling up the east coast but only spent about three hours there! I’ve heard it’s a great city.

Yeah, its all good - makes a big change to the North East (I’m from outside Middlesrbough originally). Shame you’re not coming over but maybe you’ll get over to Aus another time. Perth’s not too dissimilar to Brisbane. Seems to be the Aus destination of choice for UK immigrants.
Have a good trip.

Can I just point out that the real reason we’re going to Australia is for a wedding - Mark isn’t really an international jetsetter yet Graham but he likes to give off the illusion of it ;)
He’s always got me to drag him back down to earth in lovely rainy Wales…

Well if you’re under 5’5” or can afford business class then I wish you the best of luck!

I think you’ll be fine for the journey.
I’m 6’5” and I flew London to Perth and it wasn’t fun I can tell you.
I’ll buy you (another) beer if you can slip me a disk with the new Microsoft fonts on there ;)
