Both times now he has left some fantastic samples of GF Smith Papers, brochures and other literature . Paul is the sort of person that many a design studio would love to have working for them and dealing with clients. He is always enthusiastic and you get a real sense of a genuine love of design and paper - a true gent and a top guy. I met with Paul for the second time today, and he is top guy.

All the actual information - like paper ranges, selections, grammages etc, are pdf downloads. pdf downloads???? whilst it may look 'cool' it's not a very successful website at all. this is one of those ‘print designer did this website’ sites – theres more focus on big pictures, thick rules and a tight grid than basic useability and functionality.

Paul came into our uni and gave a talk about the new colouplan range — he is the most enthusiastic speaker of paper that I have ever met and an inspiration to all.
