Mark Forrester - Independent digital designer and online entrepreneur

Monday night was spent clapping and cheering, smiling and waving at Koko nightclub in Camden Town. A couple weeks before Monday night I registered with Applausestore.com, a one-stop-shop for free television and radio audience tickets. Upon registration I was asked what television shows i would be interested in being a part of, naturally the music shows were the ones I was keen to see, so I signed up for probably the best music show around here in England, The Album Chart Show.

A week later I found out I had 4 free tickets to see Kate Nash (one of my new favourite artists) Calvin Harris (funky disco music), Newton Faulker (absolutely awesome guitarist! ) and KT Tunsall (pretty cool, but not quite my cup of tea). All huge artists over here in the UK at the moment. (more…)

The aim of this post is to explain why I have chosen to re-design my website. Yes a re-design was probably long overdue and a fresh new look will hopefully attract some more visitors, especially from css galleries. However, this isn’t the reason behind the change. The re-design of this website is actually part of a much bigger re-design, the re-design of my life. (Deep I know.)

In the past couple months there has been quite a significant change in my life.

(Here starts an extended summary of the last 3 year and a half years of my life)

For the past 3 and a half years I have been ploughing most my time and resources into my company I started with two fellow University of Cape Town (UCT) graduates. You hopefully read about my company on the about page of this site. If you didn’t, the company is called Gravit8. (more…)
