This site will contain links to most of my work for the Master of Science in Interactive Software Development

My fellow students and tutors can e mail me with any comments you have got about the site regarding it's content or design.

The links at the left of the navigation bar above will take you to pages with work examples on them. To play these examples on your PC you will require Flash and Shockwave players, which you've probably got. If not, click on the icons below to get them.

By nature (and preference to be honest!) I'm an illustrator and cartoonist rather than a web site designer, so please forgive my penchant for pretty pictures rather than useful, exiting stuff like code and data bases.

I'm hoping to add to this site quite regularly and build up a resource of links and interesting articles. Whether these links will be interesting or useful to anyone else is a subject for conjecture! I suppose I need to plan and design this site as 'fit for purpose' and as the purpose of it is to show case my work and act as a development piece in it's own right, the whole thing could be quite organic. Hopefully my increasing knowledge of HCI will help me understand what it is I am trying to achieve here!

Web site design is much easier to do for someone else, because you can never be satisfied with what you want personally, or what you are trying to achieve. Ideas come and go and changes are made as old ideas wear thin. Just like graphic design and illustration, the artist is usually his own worst critic. Pleasing clients is much easier because, hopefully, you have a much more specific brief. Therefore you have clearer assessment criteria for the work and the cyclical development process has definitive structure. That is to say the design solution gets clearer as the goals are focussed in on.

With this site it may be the exact opposite!

So please bear with me, and thanks for bothering to visit.

 

Hello
This is me. Sitting here in front of my Mac, as usual, but wishing I was sitting in front of a pint in a beer garden.
