My final creation, South China Label Summit for Tarsus Group was launched today. The design brief was a little tough. The branding for the show wont be done until a few months before the show. This meant I had to do something generic to allow for future branding, whilst still keeping a sense of, well… branding (a contradiction, I know). All I had to go on was the logo and the fact they liked Smart Label Summit Europe which I created earlier in the year.
I’m quite happy with it though. I think it’s pretty much bug free and it easy on the eyes. I used Strict XHTML and there’s only two minor errors on the home page. I’m particularly proud of the menu, the date/venue details and the conference tab links because they use some snazzy CSS techniques. Works on all web standard Internet devices!

I start a new job tomorrow, working for Living Designs in Shoreditch. I’m very excited about it. I worked at Tarsus for nearly six years, creating sites such as Smart Labels Summit Europe, news and blog systems for Venues, and built their shiny Intranet. I’ve met a lot of interesting and fun people there, but my time had come to move on.
I’m very much looking forward to this opportunity and all the new challenges. I’ll have a good platform to implement my skills and ideas as well as learn lots from the people there. Hopefully I’ll be updating my portfolio very soon.
