Licence to print money evaluation


Overall I am pleased with both the print quality and communication of my designs and feel they would be an interesting part of the exhibition. In this project what I feel has lead to in depth and interesting content is the level of research I did before any making. Finding a range of sources from many different places meant my understanding of what a bank note looked like was much more refined.

Then creating a very large range of ideas from this further research meant through feedback and reflection I could identify an idea with a lot of possible outcomes and engaging content.

My design decisions have all stemmed from my research and all reflect my overall theme of African currency, I found in this project my application of time was much more considered printing my note early meant I could concentrate on other briefs and not have issues with re-printing if I made any mistakes. 

Experimentation of paper stock is something I really pushed in my design to find which would be most appropriate for my designs.

If I was to change anything in this project I would have looked at using some additional processes like mono print or letterpress. This would add another level of detail to my final outcome. As well as this I feel my final prints could have featured some more hand drawn designs, as my design ideas were all drawn this could have been reflected in my final outcome. 

All in all this project has really pushed my practice and encouraged me to be always look for further research and design ideas. I feel my outcomes full reflect the time and effort I have put into this brief. I have really enjoyed looking into the design of currency and my appreciation of how currency is designs has definitely improved.
