OUGD505 - SB1 - Briefing



Licence to Print Money

For the first of the two briefs for OUGD505 (Design Practice 2) we are tasked to research the purpose of money in modern day society, and more specifically note based money and finally to evaluate the path that money should take in the future, redesign and redetermine money as a concept.

The brief tasks us to undertake in to a body of research of which determines money and its place in modern day society, ranging from the reasons that money works like it does, why it works like this and finally with all this in mind complete and create our own proposal for the future of a banknote. This will entail looking at how money is spent, and how it acts as a financial transaction.

The final outcome for the brief should act as and be presented using an all analogue printing approach, taking in to use the analogue printing methods that the university has to offer in the completion of the bank note, using a combination of a minimum of two different colours of printing finishes, with finished prints being completely non-digital. 

The final stage of the brief will include the final design outcomes taking place in a exhibition in which it will display not only the bank notes of level 5 graphic design students, but also of the level four graphic design students who are also taking part in the brief. The finally display within the exhibition will allow each contributor to have a space of 21cm by 26 cm but this is the only constraint, within this space the contributors can display either the back and front of one note, or a single side of two different notes. The notes can be of any size, so long as they fit in to the exhibition within the earlier stated exhibiting space leaving the size of the note up to my own discretion.
