While we are mostly known for our websites, it appears to be a little known fact that we also design for print?

I graduated from university quite a few years ago, before the internet was widely used, and if someone tried to talk to me about HTML I found myself staring back with a blank expression on my face. This was hardly surprising as in my first year we didn't even use computers, it was metal type and composing sticks for us. Ask me about ligatures, em spacing and kerning and I will happily bore you for hours about the importance of good quality typography.

That's where my design career started, and it is still a massive part of my life. Yep, I'm that guy who sits in a restaurant and will study the menu, not just for what I want for starters, but also looking over the design. I constantly find myself picking up brochures and magazines. The content could be anything, but it's the layouts and the grids I am interested in. It has become an irresistible impulse.

Since becoming part of Getme I have continued to design for print – anything from a leaflet for a local brewery to full product brochures. I love the challenge of having a blank page and considering all the ways I can get the message over as simply and creatively as I can.

Although, clearly, print design is in my blood, at Getme I also now venture into the world of web design. I feel the two are becoming more aligned, with the introduction of CSS3. Just look at the two column layout of our blogs. I would always do this in print as a matter of course, and now I can design like this for the web too – happy days!

I continue to work on both disciplines, always putting a strong emphasis on those techniques and rules I have learnt over the years producing design for print.
