Mark Boulton Design joins Monotype

In a talk at Fronteers Conference, back in 2012, Mark Boulton compared responsive design to The Matrix. After playing the audience a clip from the film Boulton explained that, “watching that scene again made me think that responsive design is our red pill. For a long, long time I think we’ve been living in a consensual hallucination of control on the Web. As designers we’ve made up pages that don’t exist.”
