Art directed and structurally designed by me, with the exceptional Matthew Mayes designing the graphics and lots of hot interactive sections. Composited and structurally scripted by myself and Matthew, this was a suck it and see prototype that Castle eventually decided not to proceed with under the then dodgy market conditions. But oh what fun!

Monotype Conference Presentation The first major presentation working with Malcolm Garrett - a twin-screen data projected media-rich digital duo hour-long tour-de-force presented to the design community at University College London University in 1994	Understanding Hypermedia Presentations for the book, and hands-on book design. Working with designer Malcolm Garrett and interactive designer Alasdair Scott at the then AMX Digital Studios in Shoreditch. (We started the Ditcherati there). Richard Oliver and I writing and sourcing images, Malcolm designing with Cara Mannion doing layouts, and Christine Davies editing. We wanted a beautiful book (Wired review) and we got one.	Malibu website A website for Malibu Rum, brokered by Lowe Howard Spink and designed and produced by AMX Digital. My role was information architect, and I devised several sections, including a dominoes game, and an interactive e-postcard that translasted from standard English into Baijan (Barbadian) dialect.

Futures presentation in Paris 1997 A presentation in the Georges V Hotel in Paris to an audience of Ftures dealers. They treated me really well, and bought me drinks in the Ritz even after I told them that they were all in danger of being disintermediated by online futures trading.	The CyberLex and presentation for Cyberdesigners 98 in Aarhus. The Cyberdesigners presentation was based on the working prototype for a CDROM version of the Cyberspace Lexicon, which Malcolm, Richard and I had put together as a presentation for potential funders/investors. We were way ahead of our time, but the prototype sure looked pretty. Produced in the fabulous Supercard - our favourite authoring software, which unfortunately never made it into the increasingly dominant PC/Windows marketplace.

Graphics by Peter Laurenco	Cyberspace Lexicon Another brilliant book from the Cotton/Oliver/Garrett stable., I'd started on this one a couple of years earlier with the ambition of producing a one-stop lexicon that drew together all the various and then quite separate multimedia arts. Nreville Brody remarked - 'lots of words!' when he saw the final publication, but Malcolm's graphics made each spread a joy to behold. It's weathered well despite the problems of producing a reference work in this volatile and dynamically changing new media environment. And it gave us a vehicle for thirty or so overview essays on the future potential of digital media.

Nickelodeon Interactive - the product of a years creative consultancy with the innovative and adventurous Nickelodeon team was a series of prototypes and presentations for pitching to the Viacomn New Media team in New York. Lots of really great ideas informing Nickelodeon's quest to becomel the prime independent childrens television channel. Too early for DSL and interactive cable. Lots of designers involved with this one, notably Marl xxx on 3D animation, Peter Kennedy on graphics and myself on game-design and creative direction.
