The interest in information design and multimedia has developed from my graphic design course at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication in Kent, and this continuing interest was realised when entering the Information and Graphic Design course at De Montfort University in Leicester - "To take this academic interest to the next level".

The idea for an interactive system for the Channel Tunnel came initially from a written research project to develop and design interactive multimedia screens at BAA Airports and production of screen for a Self Help Point (see Batchelors Degree work). To produce a friendly familiar looking interactive system in a way which would attract people rather than tend to frighten them. If this idea worked then the uses of such a system would potentially be highly advantageous.

In the development and research of the Master's Degree project it has been the intention to conceive and produce an integrated design system which would operate clearly, concisely, and be simple to use for revealing Channel Tunnel information.

With my level of skill in graphic design and the potential knowledge and experience of interactive information and multimedia systems this has enabled me to apply myself directly to the most significant elements of apparent importance of the project.
