It falls into three broad and overlapping areas: speculative design: projects that posit alternatives to the cultural status quo, such as the Museum of Forgery website; communication design: books, websites, fonts, posters; and visual and environmental design: for performance, encompassing sets, projections, and interactive events.

set and environmental design Since the mid 1990s I have been creating the visual and environmental design for my multimedia performance works such as Reading Frankenstein and The Roman Forum Project. In the 1980s, I created set designs for choreographers such as Gary Palmer and Heidi Duckler. More on set and environmental design....

book design These projects include the trade editions I've designed, including several that encompass unusual mixes of scholarship and visual art. (For artist's books, see the 'books' category in the menu.) More on book design...

font design I have designed several Type 1 PostScript fonts for use in various projects and publications. More on font design...

website design Most of these are sites designed as part of large-scale or long-running projects. I have been designing websites since 1994, and I am a proponent of such principles as cross-platform compatibility, low-bandwidth access, ease of updating by nonexperts, and legibility.
