Back in 1995, I was fortunate to be invited to work on a unique CD-ROM project for the US Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The disc was to involve travel and tourism statistics from around the world, with a bent on tourism as it relates to the transportation industry. I was the interface designer and also assisted with some of the programming on the disc. The whole project was built using Macromedia Director and I did the screen art in PhotoShop. Over 18 months, the product eventually was released to a positive reviews. The interface uses a world/region/country drill-down approach to getting to the statistical documents on the disc, with a common "button palette" for other navigational controls. Below are some of the more than 100 screens on the disc. I still have a few copies of the final CD-ROM, which I would be happy to demonstrate in person if you are interested.

World Screen

South Asia Region

C. America Region

North Asia Region

This is the first "interface" screen the user encounters, after making a language selection.

One of the disc's nine regions which combines elements of the countries from this region.

Bright colors and vivid photography make this one of my favorite screens on the disc.

Masking and other techniques make this a highly enticing screen.

Africa Region

Hong Kong Screen

Honduras Screen

Italy Screen

WIth such a vast history and enormous cultural resources, Africa was a fun screen to build.

Drawing on the modern beauty and ancient traditions, this screen evokes Hong Kong's flair.

The map of Honduras masks a river image, and other interesting details enliven this screen.

Culturally rich, this screen tries to capture some of the romanticism of Italy.
