		<title>Pond House Website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This project came to me after an existing client recommended me to the owners of Pond House. They already had a website, but it was looking tired and outdated, it definitely needed a redesign.]]></description>

		<title>Improving Wordpress Search</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The default search on Wordpress wasn't going to be suitable for the product search I wanted to implement on Worm Sign T-Shirts. On the default theme, standard search will give you a results page that contains the pages and posts that were found as a clickable title and excerpt - a text only sample of the the pages content. This wasn't going to good enough for a T-Shirt store. Using 2 plugins I was able to define the pages and posts I wanted to be included in the search, as well as pages and posts that I didn't want to be included, and to include an image from the product page as the main focus of the search results.]]></description>

		<title>Sticking To Your Principles&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;while working with people you know.

We&#8217;ve all designed and built websites for people we know, mate&#8217;s rates don&#8217;t just apply to the building trade, and they shouldn&#8217;t. Helping a friend get their business online with a website can be very rewarding &#8211; they might have recommended you before, but now they have experience of working [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pet Project &#8211; 1 Year Later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Towards the end of March 2009 I launched a little pet project, a T-Shirt store designed to give me a little extra income each month. Over the next month I'm going to post a handful of blog articles describing what I've learnt while running Worm Sign T-Shirts, including working with Wordpress, and using social networking to help promote the store.]]></description>

		<title>Transform Your Photos With Rollip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Rollip does one thing, and it does it very well. Taking your original photographs, it will transform them to authentic aged images &#8211; even surrounding them in a polaroid style border, then making them available to you to print and put them on your website.

As you can see from the results above, the filter has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artwork for Latest DJ Mix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the artwork for my latest DJ mix, Deep Down Inside.

This mix was a lot darker than my previous summer mix so I wanted to reflect that in the artwork. I only used 3 pieces of stock imagery for this, the Clown, the border and the paint brush splash as a holder for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>3D Films Are Not The Future!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I go to the cinema a lot, at least once and week, and sometimes twice a week when the releases are coming thick and fast.
I&#8217;ll watch and enjoy a range of films, from gritty thrillers to foreign cinema to &#8216;for the kids&#8217; animation. During the last 9 months 3D films have been cropping up more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Party Invitation Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently asked to design an invitation flyer for a friend&#8217;s 30th birthday. Now, I don&#8217;t advertise the fact that I can design paper based products as well as websites so I don&#8217;t really get the opportunity to do them that often, so I really enjoy these jobs when the present themselves.

I am tempted [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Website: Caroline Newton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just recently finished a project for an artist client, Caroline Newton , who wanted a website to sell her prints and greeting cards, as well as advertise up and coming exhibitions. The brief was fairly straight forward, to produce a clean, simple website that Caroline could update and add to. Easy to manage content [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artwork for New DJ Mix CD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in a while I decided to print up some labels and cover notes for the latest DJ mix I&#8217;ve put together [Summer 2009 by Martin Lucas]. Being a summery house mix I wanted the cover artwork to continue the vibe.

I started off with a sunset photograph from stock.xchng, and proceeded to [...]]]></description>
