How can type communicate sound? Can simply abstract forms suggest melodies?
These were some of the questions I came up with while developing this sound type visualizer .

Living in a little student town such as Falmouth with one of the best art schools in the United Kingdom next door is one of the things that makes me feel really lucky.
I was asked by the twenty-four graduating students from the fine art department to build a website and a logo for their last year exhibition that is going to be held in London from the 3rd to the 5th of July.
As it was a no budget project with a quite tight deadline I had to come up quickly with strong ideas that would have been easy to realize and would fit well with such a variety of styles and personalities.
A few months ago, while browsing on del.icio.us I came across letters-numbers.com, a portfolio of works by Steve Rura coded by CJ Amodeo.
I was so impressed by the idea and the original coding achieved by these two designers that I decided to give a try and port this site in Flash as an exercise for my coding skills.
I was called by the nice people from Gendall to develop an application for British Telecom’s ‘Future World’ in Goonhilly, Cornwall.
The brief was to create a drawing game that could allow the user to give a visual interpretation of his/her idea of the future.
The installation was to be set in a room where each visitor of the museum could give feedback about future prediction using different media (record a video of him/herself in response to environmental topics, answer questions about climate change through an interactive questionnaire and so on).
All the feedback retrieved in this room, including the drawings, is stored on a server and is made accessible to the visitors via web.
The main purpose of this gallery is to show a big amount of images in a small space by using a liquid layout that will change according to the number of images visualized. Once you click on an image you can browse using your keyboard arrows.
The images are retrieved from an XML file that contains, besides the images urls, also the image captions and the gallery titles.
This version includes a slider that can let the user to set dynamically the gallery height.
