Black is the New Gold

Mark Porter was born in Scotland and educated at Oxford University. Initally self-taught, he learnt from some of London and New York's best designers.

He worked as Art Director on a range of award-winning magazines including ES, Wired, and Colors, and joined The Guardian full-time in 1995, later becoming Head of Design and then Creative Director. In 2005 he masterminded the seminal Guardian relaunch, which has become a benchmark of contemporary newspaper design. He also consults for newspaper and magazine clients worldwide.

His work has been awarded the highest honours including World’s Best Designed by the Society for News Design; a gold medal from the Society of Publication Designers; and a black pencil (the best pencil you can get) in the D&AD global awards.

He is expecting a baby soon. So we wish you all the best and can't wait to see what you do on your return.
