Welcome to Design by Structure’s blog

Welcome to our blog.

Writing this the funny thing is I know it isn’t going to be read by many people to start with as creating a good blog takes time and it needs to have really good content.

With that in mind Structure is a design agency based in London. We come across lots of interesting things every day so this blog is going to be our way of sharing our ideas, thoughts, comments and anecdotes about what’s happening in the world of design, the internet and beyond…

Let us know what you think, good or bad.
