Wayne, how did all this get started?
2:01
Originally, I wanted to do graphic design.
2:04
So I'd asked my teacher at school, you know, What can I do? Well, I always enjoyed art and design.
2:10
Let's put it there.
2:11
And I went to my art teacher and said, how can I earn money from doing this? And he's become a graphic designer.
2:17
So I did a national diploma in graphic design.

So I put all of my eggs in one basket rather than doing A-levels and fell in love with typography when I was there.
