A snapshot of a recent project
I haven’t added to my portfolio lately, and mostly because the timelines of the projects I’ve been working on have not reached their end yet. I have however completed a number of designs and some internal things. Some of which are tied up in NDA’s, but some thankfully are not.
Here’s a snapshot of one design I did recently for Fry’s vegetarian. The site is still to be coded and developed, so perhaps this is a bit premature. I suspect it will act more as a teaser of things to come. The site will feature delicious recipes, information for agents and a whole lot more.
Well, now you know I haven’t just been sitting around and playing with Photoshop. In fact; if you add the preperation for the impending web design course I’ll be teaching next year for Hirt & Carter, I’ve been pretty damn busy.
Have no fear though. I’m currently available for freelance work, so if you need any design or website development work done, please feel free to drop me a line. </shameless marketing>

Line 20, Column 6: end tag for element “shameless marketing” which is not open.
The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.
:-p

@shane, thats a very unusual error considering the < and > characters are escaped properly. Where did you pick that up (what browser and what validator?)
Thanks for pointing it out and keen to resolve. It works fine, and without error in IE7, Firefox Opera and Safari (all on Vista).

*laugh* Sorry Ross, it was meant to be a joke as you have a closing tag for “shameless marketing” but no opening tag in your post. The error is not real, I simply typed it in to be a smart ass. Sorry for the confusion.

*blush* haha. Don’t I feel like an idiot. Went on a wild goose chase wondering what browser doesn’t escape characters
