		<title>Off the wall creativity at Furry Puppet Studio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you have been following my blog for some time, you may remember my previous article about Furry Puppet Studio. I stumbled upon their website and was amazed by what these guys were creating. Recently I had an email conversation with Zack Buchman, the Creative Director of Furry Puppet Studio (New York) and he showed me some of their recent work and I was blown away by what these guys were doing, and this all happened inside the time frame of 3 weeks!

		<title>Turning negatives into positives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever studied design at College or University, then you will have experienced a <em>design critique</em>. Back when I was studying, we had a few formal critiques per semester, and informal critiques every week between our peers and our design lecturers. These critiques played an important role in the ongoing development of our design projects.

		<title>The Tweet Moods aggregator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had this idea for a little pet project - to create a  tweet aggregator site with a novelty theme. One of my main motivations for wanting to build this site was to have a chance to experiment with some CSS3 sorcery. When you make a website for yourself you have more freedom to be bold and experiment further than you would on a website for someone else.

		<title>Misconceptions about Web Designers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I'm asked what I do, I wouldn't always say the same thing to everyone. Often because I'm often not sure how to best describe it myself to those that are asking. I have always maintained I am a bit like Chandler Bing from Friends... my friends don't fully understand what I can do. But there are reasons why I wouldn't always just say "Web Designer". This article will explain some of my thoughts.

		<title>Ommwriter for writing inspiration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wanted to just write something and not have to worry about being distracted by new email notifications? Or have you ever just got frustrated typing out that article in the restrictive little “compose” window? Until I discovered Ommwriter, writing articles was not always a pleasant task, and often I found myself battling to control interfaces, and generally getting distracted from the sole objective of my task, which was writing a good article.

		<title>New website launched</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been a long time coming! I have been planning to re-design my website for months (since the start of the new year). But, being so busy it is hard to do everything, and find especially hard to find time to work on your own website. In general, there wasn't anything wrong with my previous site... but being the extreme perfectionist that I am, I was never really happy with it. I wanted to design something that better reflected who I am as a Designer.

		<title>Do you really need a degree to work as a Designer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. This article is not just specific to Designers -  it also applies to Developers (I just shortened the title for the sake of the article promotion). If you asked me this same question a few years ago, my answer may have been very different to now.

		<title>Web Designers who can&#8217;t code anything?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few weeks there have been riots in blogland, which all kicked off from this tweet by Elliot Jay Stocks. To further clarify and explain what he had meant by the tweet, Elliot published a blog article to fully explain his views. Blog riots followed, and countless designers and developers published their own blog articles both attacking, and supporting what Elliot said.
