From my original interface concept UI design, I produced an exciting learning tool for 11-14 year olds to learn about the UK and it's places of interest they can visit. The spinning menu and zooming map are an exciting way into the roughly 2000 pieces of database driven content. This flagship application of gridClub.com helped the site walk away with a BAFTA, a BETT and an Emma Foundation award.

The client came to me to concept, design and build several interactive 'attractor' apps for their latest line of very large multi-touch TVs. These TVs are located in hotel lobbies, trade shows, clubs etc. They play one of the attractor apps in demo mode until a passer-by's interest is piqued and they investigate and play with attractor.

Each interactive had to interesting enough in demo mode but also highly 'touchable' and playful when a user (or multiple users) came to play. The high-end TVs have an nice Android system on-board to run these interactives.

I like being a freelance designer and developer as I get to work with lots of nice people, once again with the smart people at Tangent90 I built a local installation that played out over a few plasma screens in the entrance of Selfridges London. The installation took pictures of everyone coming through the door, which then where cropped to a head and shoulders image, which then found themselves 'dropping' into my mosaic of other customer's faces. The mosaic tiles are then colour tinted and make up a larger image of Mr I.am.

Depending which version is running at the time, we either play a promo video every few minutes or (my personal favourite) explode the mosaic's tiles and spin them around in 3D before putting them back in their correct places. For no reason beyond eye candy but, for once, that is what you need to attract the passers-by attention.

Working with the guys at yomego Scotland, I built a nice little user generated content viewer. All the user's competition entries can be filtered by location and then the app selects a random selection of entries from that location to display. Some are videos, some are images, some portrait and some landscape - the app handles them all.

Thanks to yomego's Facebook API, we also were able to use the app to view the user's Facebook photos.

The client needed to place the project on different sites at different sizes so it is nice and scalable to fit any size that gets thrown at it :)

At the BBC's interactive TV design department, I designed and built interfaces and models for current and future interactive TV services as part of the 'Future Interface group'.

This ranges from simple 'now and next' type screen overlays to imagining future interfaces for the next gen. of digital personal recorders which need to allow browsing and searching of 70,000 data items.
