Malcolm is a true pioneer of digital design, technology and thinking. Widely acknowledged for iconic and intelligent design, he has also consistently embraced new ways of seeing.
His career has spanned pop music and popular culture, the arts, broadcast, publishing and digital media. His openness and breadth of vision mean he has remained true to the freshness and irreverence of his early punk roots whilst becoming an educator, design ambassador and respected figure in the UK's cultural, digital and design communities.
Malcolm's work is almost universally regarded as a major influence on the development of contemporary graphic design in the UK and its youth-driven design culture. Whilst still at college he designed classic record sleeves for new wave bands such as the Buzzcocks and quickly went on to establish his own design company Assorted Images which produced similarly renowned pieces for Duran Duran, Culture Club, Simple Minds and Peter Gabriel. Assorted Images reached far into broadcast with leading edge design for youth programming and also become the first graphic design studio in London to adopt totally digital tools.
In setting up his next enterprise AMX, Malcolm was also the first in his generation to become 100% dedicated to design for interactive media. At AMX he made digital design work for the highly complex strategic and practical demands of the wider corporate audience, working with clients such as Barclays, British Telecom, Science Museum and Egon Zehnder, and winning awards for clients including The Woolwich.
Malcolm was appointed Visiting Professor of Interactive Design at London's Royal College of Art in 2000 and is also Visiting Professor at Central St Martins. He lectures regularly around the world both independently and on behalf of the British Council and also chairs judging panels for the UK's most prestigious design awards, Design Week and British Design & Art Direction (D&AD).
In 1998 he was nominated for the prestigious Prince Philip Designers Prize in recognition of achievements in design for business and society and in 2000 was made a Royal Designer for Industry by the Royal Society of Arts, the first interactive media designer to be honoured in this way.
In June 2002 Malcolm left AMX and is now an independent Design Consultant, specialising in design for interactive media.
