David Yates

Designer of many things from mountaineering gear to advertising, intranet applications to web interfaces. I am very into Wordpress these days which I do through the vehicle of Realitus WordPress Consultancy. And marketing and design consultant in the world of print. This happens through Creative Thing.

In the rest of my life I am a father, husband, musician, wine lover, Stoke City fan and cynic. I get incredibly frustrated at everything and anything. This I am told is not uncommon for a designer.

I have various aliases:

• Blind Woolly Jumper, King of the Trent delta blues scene.
• MalvernStokie, bar-room philosopher and one time poster on the Stoke City’s Oatcake fanzine board
• The Complications. My virtual band that never gets off the ground.
• Realitus, My web design persona
• Creative Thing, my graphic design persona

This blog is about anything and everything that I need to get off my chest. And all that conversely impresses the hell out of me.
